Pros

Good exposure to executives, good exposure to smart people, and access to product groups across the company. Good spirit of camaraderie towards one mission.

Cons

Culture can be somewhat rigid compared to other tech companies and varies greatly between teams. There is not much company investment into employee groups and activities, and almost no company-sponsored morale-type events.

Advice to Management

Pay attention to keeping employees happy in things other than their exact assignments. Things like the quality/price of dining and morale events/team community matter.
