Pros

Perfect organization, processes, competent management, and it's superordinate. Your direct boss can usually do whatever you can do. All required positions are held by appropriate people, duties are clear and required, information sharing is on a very good level, and there's a relatively open atmosphere. Obviously, it will depend on your direct boss, but the company culture pushes towards openness.

Accepts innovation proposals.

Cons

Sometimes too rigid and not enough agile. Paranoid about being data-robbed. Sells family jewelry (pillar and traditional industry segments). Some divisions use obsolete technologies, but this is mostly due to the character of the project – so-called "extended lifetime care"...

Too social. Does not motivate enough to perform better or to innovative behavior. Words do not stimulate enough. People should get a greater share of profit for their innovations generated.

Advice to Management

Be more agile – respond to the market. Don't go just after huge contracts. Settle smaller, innovation-based daughter companies.

Stimulate innovations even more than now. Words of encouragement and propaganda are fine, but provide more obvious material reward, as it was in the past.
