Pros

It has some very smart people, who are honest and hard-working. The company pays its employees well and has one of the best compensation and benefits packages.

Cons

Suffers the problems of a big company.

Lacks the ability to excite the workforce with vision or motivation.

Slow career growth, slow pace of innovation, aborted projects, and a high churn in people cause some significant instability.

Advice to Management

Constantly changing org. structures ('reorgs') cause significant instability and reduce morale.

There must also be a stronger concerted effort to retain talent and promote growth.

Most importantly, the company needs to promote innovation through organic growth instead of acquiring companies with little IP for a lot of money.
