Pros

Great resources and opportunities to learn new technologies, skills, etc. Great opportunities for movement between groups.

The perks are great, and the benefits (401K, health insurance) are great.

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy, and groups are siloed. The hierarchy needs to be realigned.

It's a big company, and actual promotions are scarce. It's easier to just jump to another company for that pay raise, and then jump back for another.

Advice to Management

Lots of incompetent middle management, though there are also many great managers.

Need to flush out the bad! Seriously.

Shake things up and get rid of the mediocre high-level and middle managers.
