Pros

Very good pay and benefits. Mostly great people. Good facilities and perks.

Cons

Politics are killing everybody. Everyone is angling for themselves.

Senior execs talk about, and may even have, shared goals, but individual teams bicker about priorities.

Terrible place to be a manager. Lots of responsibility, accountability, zero authority.

So many, many, many, many meetings.

So, so, so, so, so much email.

Between email and meetings, you're working all the time without doing any work.

Advice to Management

Empower managers to manage; don't just leave it to VPs and Directors.

Do fewer things so people aren't stuck in meetings and email hell.
