Pros

There are some very smart and capable people that you can learn from. A lot of information is open and available if you know where to look.

Snacks, summer parties, social events. Good benefits.

Cons

Hit or miss if you end up in a team with interesting work and a good manager – the exception rather than the rule.

A lot of long-time employees with entrenched views make it a bit of a monoculture.

Old technology and tools. A lot of busywork goes on.

Advice to Management

Moving in the right direction with flexible working and compensation changes, amongst other changes. Still an "us and them" mentality and arrogance – for example, not rehiring ex-workers – that is embarrassing.
