Pros

Managers are there to actually help you and they trust you. They are not out to get you.

Pay increases, whether or not you negotiate for it.

Incentives make sense. We're not pressured to always be building new stuff when the existing stuff is broken. We are actually expected to maintain our code, and when maintenance gets tough, it's accepted that new stuff gets pushed back, which is nice.

People stick around.

Exceptionally smart coworkers.

Cons

Pay lags performance by around a year (but see pro about it going up anyway).

Network switches aren't the most exciting topic.

Advice to Management

Keep the culture healthy. It is your primary differentiator.
