Pros

There are a lot of smart people to learn from here. Management takes an active role in career development. If you get into the right group, you have opportunities to work on cutting-edge stuff.

Cons

While many of the managers are very good technically, they aren't so great people managers. Re-orgs and management shuffling happen a lot. The leadership doesn't really inspire people.

Advice to Management

To middle-management: stop micromanaging your employees. Empower them by staying out of their way and letting them be the decision-makers.

To upper-management: get some managers with people skills.
