Pros

Cool products, great tools, great perks.

Cons

It's hard to get ideas to improve processes heard by upper management.

When a good idea does get traction, upper management takes credit for it.

Advice to Management

Make specific and relevant management skills training a requirement for each promotion on the management track.

Make staying for one year the minimum for each upper management position.

Have an on-time/on-budget award system in the product groups.
