Pros

Not as hectic as startups, but not the easy-going, smooth ride as some people might expect. It is a decent mix.

Cons

They are less hard on you, though, even if you are slacking off. They are not as quick to put people under performance review, so your growth is in your own hands, ultimately.

Also, the raises that employees have received in recent years have been subpar.

Advice to Management

They definitely need to up their offers and compensations if they want to attract the best quality talent in their market.
