Pros

Great benefits, competitive salary, loads of really smart people, tons of technical challenges, room for advancement, tremendous diversity, incredible work/life flexibility (depending on what your role is).

Cons

Middle management often gets in the way of reasonable progress.

  • Too many meetings
  • Too much PowerPoint
  • Overly bureaucratic
  • Too risk-averse
Advice to Management

Cut back on the micromanagement and let people do their work. Trust your employees, reduce process overhead, and question the status quo more often.

Some things could be tremendously more successful if management simply got out of the way.
