Pros

Good work-life balance, internal opportunities with multiple groups, decent pay/benefits.

Cons

Periodic layoffs (every couple of years). Bureaucratic and slow moving. Too many management layers, i.e., low visibility to your work.

Advice to Management

Get back to doing the real work to be able to make meaningful decisions instead of making decisions based on PowerPoints.

Look beyond the job codes to make layoff decisions and let the managers choose which employees are valuable or not. Less top-down and more bottom-up approach.
