Pros

The quality of my colleagues is exceptional.

Compensation is better than the competition.

Products are widely recognized.

Brand value is great.

The company is doing well.

Discounts are great.

401K match is nice.

There are usually 2 shut-downs a year, each week long.

The quality of food in the cafeteria is great.

Cons

Management style may take little note of employees as humans who need their personal time.

Perks at work are not that great.

Work pressure is relentless, unless you are brave enough to say no in a company where everyone always says yes.

Sterile work environment.

Advice to Management

Be mindful that a lot of employees are at or near burnout.

Don't build a meat grinder.

Relax on the departmental budgets for outings/events.

Free food would be a great perk.
