Pros

Pay, work-life balance, flexibility, inclusiveness, diversity. Far more pros than cons: wellness days, unlimited time-off, family comes first.

Cons

Not all managers are good; some are great and some are absolutely horrible.

Work will be piled up onto the employee; it's up to the employee to say it's too much, without looking lame.

Promotions don't come easily; it's based on a popularity voting system.

Advice to Management

Re-vamp the promotion system. You are losing very good people due to its inadequacies. Listen to the worker bees if/when they tell you their manager is a serious problem.
