Pros

There are a lot of opportunities to move around within the company.

Generally, you're working with smart people on cutting-edge technology.

Decent work-life balance.

Cons

Too many initiatives, management's communication with other employees doesn't build confidence.

Promotional marketing to keep employee morale up is bogus. (A coworker's picture was placed under a title 'Talented Program Manager,' and that person wasn't even doing Program Management).

The focal, ranking, and rating systems prevent successfully performing candidates from getting recognition besides the standard raise and stock.

Advice to Management

Listening to the employees that actually do the work should be paramount.

Providing lip service doesn't instill confidence in employees.

Need less management and more technical people. Need to focus on the customer.
