Pros

Benefits: work from home, 5 weeks vacation (after 5 years), cell phone all paid for, commute (partially paid), etc.

Cons

It is a big corporation, with lots of processes. That does help to ensure quality, but harms the speed of development.

Also, it has a huge hierarchy (far from flat). It makes it hard for higher management to understand the work on the ground, so flashy ideas usually get more traction than necessary upgrades on existing products.

Company meetings happen too often, for too long, and tend to be empty in content, a corporate bingo kind of thing.

Advice to Management

Make hierarchy flat, and let the development team push things faster.
