Pros

Access to very intelligent people. Name recognition.

Cons

Losing monies since dot com bust, creating a culture of continuous layoffs.

Process thrash. Processes change before they are given a chance to work. Also sometimes they change so rapidly it is impossible to keep up with the latest process. This can result in a work environment that is similar to no process at all.

Advice to Senior Management

Some software does not work well using an Open Source model. Software that requires knowledge should be sold as a service and have dedicated people that understand it supporting it.
