Pros

You can camp out there for a long time without getting noticed.

Cons

They have so much red tape they can't act in an agile manner. They hire people into positions that are inappropriate for their experience. They promote their "brand" on everything to make themselves look good but they have no abililty to produce anything innovative or that the market would actually want to buy. They survive only on old technology that is difficult to replace due to high barrier to entry.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
