Pros

Decent salary, good benefits, and stability. There is also a lot of internal opportunity for those willing to work for it.

Cons

The company aggressively manages to the middle. Most of the hiring and review practices are designed to not get sued rather than attracting the best talent. There is also no clear upward career path. Some team members have been in the same job for 10+ years.

Advice to Management

Lower base salaries, greatly expand the bonus salary range to reward performance with pay.

Provide active mentorships for all employees.

Strengthen career development programs, such as executive leadership or architecture.

Finally, find a way to reward the strongest technology workers without forcing them into management.
