Pros

Great benefits. Lots of talent. Opportunity to be in the know and at the edge of business software.

Cons

Huge organization - sometimes a little chaotic (who's running the show?).

So large it's highly specialized. If you like to be part of the larger development process, you won't get it as a developer.

Review process is a little draconian - well-intentioned, but may be producing unintended effects.

Advice to Management

Consider the draconian stack-ranking. It's not transparent, and it forces unethical choices.
