Pros

Plenty of technically competent contributors. Opportunity to learn bleeding-edge technology. Some people are good to work with.

Cons

Most employees keep their knowledge to themselves as an edge for ranking purposes.

Only select employees get recognized, given raises and/or promoted.

If you don't belong in the inner sanctum... forget it!

First-line managers spend more time pretending to be technical and less time managing.

Upper-level managers are not available for discussions. They act like they are the CEO, especially if you are off-site.

Advice to Management

None. They won't listen anyway. If they didn't listen before when I worked there, why would they listen now?
