Pros

Lots of talented co-workers.

Large choice of products to work on (that's my experience in Software Group).

Reasonable pay.

Cons

For every talented worker, there are several mediocrities.

Lots of talk about culture change, but there's so much inertia.

The ratings system often pits people against each other.

Bonuses? Meager, if they make an appearance at all.

Advice to Management

Try to value teamwork more in your ratings. You really don't provide us with any incentive to help our peers out.

Find ways to help the innovators carry change forward.
