Pros

Name recognition, merit-based opportunities, defining future technologies.

Most are satisfied with the pay. Great corporate culture. Some teams are more flexible (hours) than others.

Cons

The company has gotten large, and it's hard to differentiate yourself. Some old-timers are coasting. There are some politics.

Some bad managers insist on playing politics, while senior leaders don't value the political culture.

Advice to Management

Continue improving middle management (and removing bad managers).

Consider reinterviewing employees (I'm not sure how some people are still here).
