Pros

Great large company to work for with good structure and top benefits.

Amazing projects and software to work on.

Great culture and smart people.

Cons

Too much management and processes. Very boxed into a role/area/focus. Overlooked if you're not working on something cool. Work-life balance is balanced more towards work. Very competitive.

Advice to Management

Could use better bottom-up management styles.

Young managers should be trained a lot more in motivating and utilizing people.
