Pros

Great benefits, excellent salary and bonuses, a completely balanced work-life and flexible schedule. Projects are awesome to work on.

Cons

Very behind the times in software development practices. Do not expect to use much new stuff, and expect to use waterfall for almost everything. They have zero career upwards mobility and rarely promote, at least on the engineering side of the house. You will do the job of a much higher level and not get paid for it. Way too many high-level people who aren't doing their job, and you have to compensate for them.

Advice to Management

Find a way to recognize your employees, and stop acting like it is such a difficult thing to do.

Fast-track employees who are exceeding expectations so they can meet their full potential.
