Pros

Huge customer impact.

Openness from the community within.

Great problems to solve.

Lots of new challenges to face.

Availability of all kinds of career opportunities.

Cons

The company has become too big to make a change in terms of policies, compensation, or strategy.

Most of the products are very mature, and there is very little room for change. That way, the challenge is not to innovate but to upgrade the existing software in line with the competing world.

Still, most of the functionalities are targeted at keeping the cash cows in mind. You develop a functionality if you know the enterprise will buy it.

Advice to Management

We need to be more aggressive and make a push outside the enterprise consumers. Products with high volumes and low margins can still do wonders.
