Pros

As a large-scale company, the amount of problems to solve is massive, which I view as great opportunities for creative professionals.

Cons

Priorities keep changing. Top-down decisions are in the core culture of the company, which tends to prevent you from hunting most of the great opportunities you are seeing.

Advice to Management

Reduce the middle management to suit the company size. This may allow the company to observe issues sooner and react in an agile way to reduce the impact.

I have seen many issues which were discussed among many colleagues in the office. Yet, it took more than a year for the senior management to make some changes to adopt.
