Doesn't RecommendDoesn't Approve of CEO
Pros

Lots of smart people, lots of cool projects. They really value their top employees with good compensation.

Cons

Poor healthcare benefits, a caustic work environment (dog eat dog), a high attrition rate, too much work and not enough life balance. The company really only values its top employees.

Advice to Management

Consider the reputation that you have in the community. You have half of an incredible company (i.e. the smart people, cool projects, money to spend, customer focus), but your regretted attrition rate speaks to a culture that doesn't truly value its employees.
