The typical corp-machine that has the resources to be great but sub-par middle management that keeps them mediocre.

Pros

Strong positioning in many spaces of market-sectors they encompass. Respectable resources and asset base for improvements both internal and external

Cons

Short-sighted vision of dreadful middle management and a propensity to under utilize individuals talent or provide strongly defined career paths for people to grow. Very easy to remain stagnant in a career there.
