Pros
It used to be a great place to work. Strong leadership, lots of team playing, but the company lost its edge around the same time the dot com bust hit, and could never figure out its Internet strategy. The company has always offered good benefits, however. And for a long time was a good supporter of telecommuting, thus promoting work/life balance.
Cons
The company really lost its way after the dot com bust. It could never figure out, and still hasn't figured out, its Internet strategy. Every year or so the company comes up with a "new strategy" but it's basically the same old same put together by the same old boy's network that sits at the top and and plays musical chairs.
Advice to Senior Management
Bring in new senior management with fresh ideas and no institutional CMP baggage.
