Pros

Very challenging requirements. Cutting-edge technology. Great development environment: Macbook Air/Pro, tons of lab computers, and a desktop computer. Do-as-fits-you atmosphere. In your project, as long as you get the job done.

Cons

A very old legacy system, which feels old and sometimes wastes your time. But you are welcome, and they accept any change or upgrade you suggest for it.

Advice to Management

Make sure to have 360 feedback for managers, not only manager to employee. The world has long evolved to this. Each manager can gain a lot of improvement from this process and make their employees much happier.

Make sure to invest in Career Development. The big HR department may have these processes documented, but I haven't seen them in action, so effectively your manager doesn't help you plan your career path in the company.
