Pros

Good people, exciting and challenging work.

Cons

Too much politics, poor review processes, and salary not competitive with other comparable companies.

Advice to Management

Focus more on making each employee productive and appreciated.

Most managers are solely focused on making their boss happy to the exclusion of making their directs happy, which leads to huge overheads in constant reporting and too many meetings with repetitive PowerPoint decks to trumpet the work being done.
