Pros

I love my job as a software engineer. The pay is really good (similar to Google/Amazon/Facebook salaries). I have 4 weeks of paid time off, 3 weeks sick leave, and more time off if needed. It is very stable, with tons of employee discounts and benefits. (I.e. they pay for my phone bill, we get free, unlimited stock trading, we get a few thousand to spend on medical bills a year, we get great computer gear, etc). Managers respect work-life balance and never impose on you to stay more than 40 hours per week. They encourage us to take time off to relax.

Cons

It is very hard to move around in the company, and you are working with a much older crowd of people. Work can get stale. Pros and cons, I guess.

Advice to Management

Nothing much. Engineers get treated well here, and they should know that policies and standards are very rigid when coming into a huge company like this.
