Pros
Above grade pay. Good benefits. Great location.
Cons
Top heavy with mountains of upwardly mobile manager/vp wannabe's. Lots of management with too few architects and engineers. Now outsourcing to india. This leading to eroding technical competency.
Many vertical fiefdoms have arisen, leading to pillars of incompetence with no where to turn for problem resolution. In some cases teams were taken en mass from acquired companies.
Technical criticism, regardless of merit, leads to employee's not being 'team players' , and thus fodder for the next round of layoffs.
Advice to Senior Management
Less project managers and Directors, VP's, more end to end architects who understand the products and technical challenges the company faces. Your powerpoint presentation isn't getting work done.
