Pros

The concentration of smart people here is the primary reason I work here.

I don't have to spend hours explaining the technical issues I have to deal with in my work.

I also get a lot of guidance from other team members.

Cons

The codebase of some of the projects is huge, as is the number of people working on them. Certain features in certain products might need the involvement of a lot of people, and coordinating and resolving the issues of each of these teams is not trivial.

Advice to Management

I do not know much about the issues that Senior Management deals with, so I'm not sure how relevant my comment in here is. Maybe more effort should go into existing core businesses rather than spending more time and effort on mergers and acquisitions.
