Pros

Good opportunities, lots of changes, dynamic. Some people who've got 20 year+ tenure provide a sense of stability alongside that. Very much focused on revenue, which can create a positive sense of urgency.

Cons

Huge sales target pressure, especially in Q4. Constant headcount reductions rumoured, lots of reorgs.

Constant infighting and territorial battles between managers and across lines of business.

As a manager, you always have to watch your back. Very little trust.

Advice to Management

It's how it is; there's no real way to change the culture that's worked as it has for 40 years.
