Pros

As a big company, they can afford good benefits and small perks.

Some of what we are doing is pretty cool - not directly because it's O, but just the nature of my position (distributed systems development).

Cons

Compensation (salary and bonuses) is low-ish.

Lots of bureaucracy comes with a big company. So many levels of middle management provide no value.

Many of the "policies" only add overhead and paperwork.

Advice to Management

People are individuals and therefore different. And so are separate divisions. Stop trying to make everyone and everything the same and fit into your little mold.

Trust the people you've hired. Give them what they need and let them do their jobs.

Pay people market wages.
