Pros

The company has continued to succeed while others have failed.

Face it, networking makes the world go round.

Overall, there is a culture of respect within the company, at least within core development. Peers respect each other, and there is definite room for growth in each group.

Cons

Development runs the company, which is great if you're in development, but makes most all other positions a little less interesting. Among the companies I have worked for, and of those I have invested in, I can say those driven by development never grow to the heights of those companies that listen to all of their functional groups equally.

Advice to Management

Just because you make money listening to development does not mean you cannot make even more money if you're willing to listen to the other groups within the company.

Where's the CEO? Close to 6 years with the company, and I have spoken with the man once.
