Pros

Good benefits, excellent intra-company mobility.

Cons

Constant re-orgs, heavy bureaucracy, poorly trained managers, heavy-handed DEI policies (openly retarding career advancement for unfavored folks, quietly providing free/out-of-cycle promotions for favored folks, racially biased hiring), pay is not industry-leading, work/life unbalance, "emergency time" is all the time, constant project thrash.

Advice to Management

If you want to make the company more efficient, reduce the bureaucracy and project thrash. Once these are less impactful, you'll need fewer people. If you just reduce the head count and keep everything, you are just going to crush those dumb enough to stay (this is what they are currently doing).
