Pros

Good work-life balance, solid 401(k) program.

Cons

Frequently hit with layoffs that undermine morale. Management are pencil pushers with no sense of the underlying technology and no penchant for innovation. Sub-standard hiring practices mean your team might be full of people unqualified for the job. Upper management is constantly making big announcements or press releases that the company doesn't have the ability to execute on. Feels like they're behind the times and anxious.

Advice to Management

Recruit more from actual technology companies.

Get better middle managers who can actually understand the projects their teams are working on.

Improve morale by actually executing as promised.
