Pros

Great Place to Work.

Flexible working hours. Good work from home policy, as long as you get your work done.

Consultants and employees treated almost equally.

Good medical benefits.

Cons

Bureaucracy due to too much emphasis on processes and documentation.

Too much hierarchy in management.

No innovation or the zeal to try new technologies.

Advice to Management

Make the processes more lean and smart. Let innovation drive the company to heights as it was before. Put the cash to better use other than buying back stock and companies.
