Pros

This is often interesting work when dealing with the latest technology. There are more than enough resources to afford any required tools.

Cons

Archaic bureaucracy, an idiotic rating process called 'focals' that undermines any sense of team. Management offers self-justifying platitudes rather than taking any real action.

The company seems in constant churn.

Groups are swapped around like checkers.

Advice to Management

Break the company up into separate business units, especially free up the mobile from the PC/server past. Let it be truly agile.
