Pros

Salary and benefits are usually above average. Most low-level managers are good. Mainframe hardware and working environment is one of the best in the industry.

Cons

Every quarter, you read the report reading between the lines to see if the axe could fall on you, and whether or not to contact head hunters. High-level management does not pay attention to biennial employee surveys. Layoffs usually hit the people who have the best product knowledge, requiring the rest to cover even more stuff while trying to learn.

Pros

There are no reasons, forget best.

Cons

Some of the directors in product management function are only good at knowing what to do to create perceptions, they ave no leadership capability. Their subordinates in India only know that a drink with your boss is the way to glory, they have been doing product management for few products (e.g. Reporting) for years but still cant answer basic questions
