Pros
the brand makes it easy to get meetings and looks good on your resume. I made a lot of money.
Cons
It's a declining company with a layoff culture. Weak CEO. Lost the cloud war. They claim it's a performance culture. Could not be further from the truth. The place sucks the soul out of you.

Team building would be my number one goal, as well as ensuring the same message is put out. The Administrative side will not help you and send you in numerous directions costing time and money.
