Very Smart Technical Community.

Cons

Salary increases are pretty small to non-existent.

Lack of a top-down, clear, and frank outlook.

Huge company, which makes changes slow and painful.

Bloated executive structure.

Advice to Management

There needs to be open dialogue on business outlook, and they need to embrace the new IT world with all its complexity and opportunities.
