Pros

Good benefits and work-life balance. Good CEO. Smart people work there.

Cons

The system has a big glitch: Teams only have an incentive for their own team to succeed, especially from a management point of view.

There is a lot of talk about working together, but in the end, the above problem prevents a lot of cooperation.

Your happiness depends a lot on your manager.

Advice to Management

Change the system so that managers' teams have incentives for global success.

Find and get rid of bad managers that create negative work environments.
