Pros

People are very smart and intelligent.

They would greatly support ideas, and it is recognized anywhere you go.

It makes me proud to be part of such an organization.

Communication is great.

Inter-team projects are quite often, and there is little politics involved (at least on the IT side).

Cons

It is very slow to provide support for the development of new projects. Personal growth is somewhat unclear on how to achieve it. Sometimes it seems random.

Advice to Management

More training and better planning – a roadmap, big picture, dates, and a better process – would greatly improve the development pace.
