Pros

Great benefits package. Depending on the team, the work-life balance is on average very good.

Cons

Large corporate culture. Policies stifle innovation and agility. The review system is ominous, large, and is often gamed by employees and managers alike.

Advice to Management

Teams tend to grow too large, and mediocrity often creeps in. The hiring process needs to be revamped and set to a higher bar.
