Pros

Great benefits; excellent pay. Lots of different kinds of projects. Many smart people. Flexible work arrangements. Global worksites. Excellent facilities.

Cons

Almost always a follower in the market. Slow to move. Management is not incentivized to make things work well across the whole product portfolio. Stock is only good for the dividend. Maddening bureaucracies abound.

Advice to Management

Emphasize flawless experiences across the whole product portfolio.
