Good people, good benefits, but overall a soulless place and political

Pros

Worked there as a developer. Overall, I found engineers to be motivated, conscientious, and very smart. I had exposure to many technologies. Benefits were very good.

Cons

At times, though, getting much-needed resources, going through processes, and getting approvals in place was very difficult and slow. I found the environment to be extremely political.

Advice to Management

While expecting employees to be self-sufficient in finding things out, where to go for help, etc., is fine, some investment in the internal 'how-to' websites could save the company many man-hours of wasted time.

Some raises or bonuses could do wonders for morale.
