Pros

Great pay and benefits. A lot of smart people around you. Free drinks! Lots of activity all the time.

Cons

The location isn't really great unless it's the summer. There are too many processes that prevent one from being agile in some teams. Certain departments within are very focused, while others lack direction.

Advice to Management

We need to stop thinking in archaic terms and technologies, especially senior management. It hinders the creativity of young individuals in a lot of ways.
