Pros

The pay is great; the benefits are second to none. Dev hardware is insane; production resources are seemingly unlimited.

Cons

Competition is fierce among peers.

Middle-management is hit-or-miss.

The pace is grueling and relentless.

Advice to Management

Emphasize management skills for diverse employees. Some employees are motivated by praise; some managers have trouble with this.
