Pros

The managers and the company treat the employees very well. The pay is decent, in line with the market. The office closes for a week between Christmas and New Year's, so it's like getting an additional week of paid vacation. The work is mostly interesting.

Cons

The product and project managers sometimes have too much confidence in the judgment and competence of the team leads, and some very poor decisions get executed by those team leads. Sometimes deadlines are missed, or you have to work late to fix problems resulting from such bad team lead decisions.

Advice to Management

Generally, keep doing what you're doing, except, perhaps, occasionally solicit feedback from the team members on what they think of their team lead.
