Pros

Good work-life balance – though sometimes you have to work more than 8 hours a day before shipping the product, which is common among other corporations in the software industry.

Good office location – you don't have to worry about your commute.

Cons

Compensation is just so-so. Is it that hard to pay a seasoned engineer $2,000 a month?

Too much politics for such a mid-size corp.

Management doesn't pay attention to employees' career growth. Take a look at Microsoft's fancy career model (yeah, I agree Google doesn't have that either, but come on...)

Advice to Management

Less politics. More innovation. Take care on the inabilities of middle management.
