Pros
  • Workload is manageable compared to startups.
  • Reasonable work environment, including cafeterias and a gym.
  • Stable company, unlikely to go under.
  • Executive management is not the easiest to work with, but generally competent.
Cons
  • Antiquated development tooling, although that's changing in several areas now.
  • Hub and spoke management model, with decisions made pretty high up in the chain.
  • Communication with employees on strategy is hit or miss.
Advice to Management
  • Improve strategic communication, have fewer conflicting projects.
  • Provide more leeway for opportunity to fail at lower levels; everything shouldn't have to be executive approved.
