Pros

You'll learn a lot – that's for sure. Your problem-solving abilities will go through the roof. It fetches one of the best starting salaries if you're a CS or Engineering graduate, plus great benefits!

Cons

Your career might get stuck after 3 or more promotions. Competition is pretty stiff in getting promoted after the first two promotions, and a lot of people don't make it to the fourth promotion.

Advice to Management

Need to focus on more agile management practices. Each division should operate like a separate company, and employees share in the profit that their division makes.
