Pros

Job security, big company, good benefits.

Cons

So large, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

Lots of unnecessary paperwork and red tape to get anything done.

Everything goes through Germany.

Make friends in high places, or you might end up on the layoff short-list.

Advice to Management

Praise every improvement.

Don't criticize your employees, especially in front of an audience.

Don't micromanage; let people do what you hired them to do.

Don't point fingers.
