Pros

The benefits are really good and the compensation is very competitive. The office conditions are some of the best I've ever seen, and financially speaking, the company is very stable, even in times of economic hardship.

Cons

Sometimes I think that management sets unrealistic expectations and is too hardheaded to realize that their ways don't work well. It ends up being that the lower-level programmers get blamed and pushed harder to the point of being overworked and very unhappy.

Advice to Management

Review your management style. Are problems with project delivery or execution due to the developers or the managers? It's fine to push developers to complete projects faster and more efficiently, but don't come up with the estimates for them. If you believe the estimates are unreasonable, ask the developers to justify them. This also forces you to understand the work being done and the technology being used.
