Pros

Great company, strong management. There's no denying the intelligence of most, if not all, of the higher-ups. Keep it up!

Cons

Moving up the ladder can be much slower than it should be. The tendency to value long-term goals leads to a fair amount of technical debt that isn't rewarded when paid off.

Advice to Management

See my cons above; more reward for people that put in work to make things easier for other engineers. Too much engineering time is spent debugging or reading code that's just old or out of date or misdocumented.
