Great development practices.

Teams are well-sized.

Technology keeps up and is comparatively modern.

People are open and friendly, great to work with.

Perks are nice.

Good appreciation and recognition for effort.

Amazing talent in engineering.

Senior Directors and above are out of touch.

Product teams have a hard time keeping up and communicating their desires.

Meetings with more management than doers are a common occurrence.

Promotions are about seniority, not merit.

I think the lower levels of management are fine, but anything Sr. Director and above is bloated and is overdue for restructuring and simplification. Delegate some responsibilities down. Be more open about the processes and more transparent about decisions. And, of course, compensate employees fairly.
