Pros

The technology you get to work on is top-end. It is not just a support site for the US office, unlike many other product companies. The work culture is nurturing and allows you to grow without suffocating you with politics. The managers are understanding in your needs.

Cons

Appraisals usually do not reflect performance, although the hikes are good enough, even though the ratings aren't that great. There is not much emphasis on work-life balance.

Advice to Management

Nothing much, except to encourage some amount of research at lower levels as well.

Not required to specifically force people into it, but allow those who want to graduate to these levels.
