Pros

Good compensation. Nice new building. A product that's actually useful and beneficial to its users. Many talented ICs (love my team and partner teams, but generally hate the management).

Cons

Bad management.

Food is good, but the logistics are terrible. Lines for days.

Poor culture; nothing is ever questioned or opposed. Being anything other than a "kool-aid drinker" wouldn't be a "cupcake."

Did I mention bad management?

Advice to Management

Promote people into management who have experience and are capable, not just the favored few who have been here a long time.

It's also okay to hire management from outside.

It's also okay to get rid of managers instead of assuming the problem is the team, because they say all the right BS to their management.
