Pros

Large scale, smart people. There is a word minimum, so many more words. Why is there a minimum? Words, words, words, words! La la la...

Cons

There was lots of in-fighting. I worked on boring projects, with lots of planning compared to the amount of code I got to write. There were also lots of meetings. One of my projects was scrapped because they had to re-assign my testers to another project, even though I had completed the coding work.

Advice to Management

Needs stronger directions from the very top, less independent direction from the too many levels of management.
