Pros

Working here is okay. The pay isn't bad, generally, and the projects are interesting. Benefits are good, and work/life balance is relatively easy to achieve. There's a lot to be said for a company that makes money.

Cons

However, the bureaucracy and overhead associated with this very hierarchical company is often rather oppressive.

It would be nice to see more autonomy at lower levels.

Advice to Management

Valuing and empowering individual contributors and lower-level managers would be worth considering to retain people and get more enthusiasm and energy out of the organization.
