Pros

A large pool of potential mentors, seems to be adequate support in teams for cross training, skills rehabilitation, professional growth as communicator and contributor. Excellent knowledge sharing in the form of collaborative tools such as mailing lists, chat, wiki, SharePoint, etc... They support Mac in the enterprise! Lot's of room for new ideas.

Cons

Extremely large company with distributed interests presents the considerable task of navigating various intranet resources and offices to locate information. It pays to ask for help, not necessarily a bad thing. Not much in the way of centralized information, that is left to the management chain with predictably inconsistent results.

Advice to Senior Management

Let your people know what is needed and when, and that you are fighting for their interests.
