Pros

The place is very stable, stress is low, and pay and benefits are decent (not great).

Lots of very technical and interesting people.

Cons

Barely competent mid-level management, strong hierarchy. No career growth. Process heavy at the cost of innovation. 20th-century style management.

Advice to Management

Upper management is talented but centralizes way too much decision-making. There needs to be a career path; otherwise, only the least talented, least motivated people will stay.
