Pros

Good projects, a huge team, lots of resources, and it's easy to network and meet a lot of interesting people.

Cons

Underpaid, doesn't keep up with the local market and doesn't even want to try and keep up with the market.

Can only get promoted every two years, and the maximum they will ever give you is a 10% base salary increase, even if you can easily get a lot more if you look elsewhere.

It is best to try and switch internally to try and get a decent increase.

Advice to Management

Try to talk more with HR and build a relationship with them, or your team will just suffer.
