Pros

Generous retirement benefits and the car discount are nice. The new building in Austin is awesome!

Cons

Hire and fire environment. Layoffs are not performance-based, so that means some of the best members of your team can be shown the door at any time. A lot of senior managers protect their inner circles and keep their underperforming friends around indefinitely.

Advice to Management

Start laying off people based on merit. Move away from the culture where senior leaders protect their own.
