Pros

Life balance. Great benefits. Working with smart people. Managers are generally good and supportive.

Cons

Culture is not customer-centric enough. Rather based on tech evangelism.

Depends on the team, but generally too much inter- and intra-organizational politics.

Salary could be higher.

Advice to Management

Making decisions based on customers and markets.

Walk the walk on customer-focus; be specific on what it means.

Providing more strategic clarity to employees at large.
