Pros

Very large org to cut your teeth on – if you're a junior engineer and need the experience.

Cons

The culture is very political, with a lot of inept and unethical management. A great deal of management only cares about their bonus and wants nothing to do with innovation or supporting employees. If you're not politically connected, you will get nowhere or worse.

Advice to Management

Top-to-bottom overhaul of management. Way too many politicians.

Think more long-term instead of the current quarter. Strengthen R&D, try innovation – instead of thinking you can simply buy it off the shelf.
