Big and publicly traded but too terribly stiff inside

Business Outlook

Pros

Systems and equipment are top-notch, internal helpdesk always responsive, travel is a breeze, opportunities to work with real pros who are doing exciting things, facilities are very pleasant, company culture adapts to customs of the local geo, felt like my contributions were valuable and appreciated.

Cons

Sometimes it felt like the company was a little too big for its britches. No consistency across dev teams (I do understand that different softwares require different bug management systems and methods of development but it was a little out of control). Hard to get information on products that were more mature in their lifecycle.
