Pros

Plenty of perks: health insurance, free food, swag with logo.

Cons

Employees are at the total mercy of their managers. It's impossible to get away from toxic politics.

Advice to Management

When rating people during the perf cycle, listen to colleagues, not only to an immediate manager, because s/he might have a nasty hidden agenda in mind.
