Pros

Smart people, interesting work (for most teams), competitive pay, open workspace, easy to communicate with other employees, good lateral movement.

Cons

Not as many benefits and perks as most tech companies.

Engineering decisions sometimes influenced too much by business team members rather than by engineers.

You may be unlucky and put on a bad team, in which case your work may be very boring.

Advice to Management

Allow engineers to run the show when dealing with technical problems. Have more snacks at the pantry, since there aren't even any subsidized meals to begin with.
