Pros

Company perks: good laptops and hardware. Not much else.

Cons

Worst company I've ever worked for. Absolutely toxic.

Hours, stuffing too many points into sprints. You complain to HR about manager's behavior, and HR doesn't take it seriously.

Flexible time off? Sure, if you aren't swamped with work.

Upper management avoids conflict resolution, particularly when it comes to their horrible middle management. HR gives a patronizing review of your issue and puts it on you as to whether you could have resolved the issue, even when painted into a corner.

And upon speaking to several other employees across the two teams I dealt with, it seems this is a trend among them.

Advice to Management

Make sure complaints are taken seriously.

Secondly, have a quarterly and anonymous review 'up' system, where the management bonus structure isn't just based on delivery but also how the individual contributors rate their manager. Without this, it turns into a dictatorship, and as it turns out, several teams are led by exactly that.
