For all the complaining I have done during my decade here, I don't think there is a better "stable" company out there

Pros

It pays well and the benefits are top-notch. If you look hard enough, there are still numerous well-funded, innovative teams. You can find diverse opportunities without leaving the company.

Cons

Bureaucratic, territorial, and reactive.

Promotions (or lack thereof) are sometimes arbitrary, with a "big boy's club" feel.

Desperately needs new top management across the board.

Advice to Management

Go spend more time with your family.
