Pros

Suitable company for someone who likes to work within structured well defined boundaries. The salaries aren't great but aren't terrible either. One doesn't have to work too hard.

Cons

One of the worst places to start a career. Incredibly political environment, but if you are a minion you wouldn't know about it. Not a place that fosters creativity or driven people. Just a place where average people do average things.

Advice to Management

Rather than trying to survive, try to grow. Laying people off every quarter because of 90 days of weak performance is going to get you nowhere. Reward talent and encourage innovation. Build incubator teams in every department so new ideas can be tested quickly without red tape.
