Access to strong, motivated technical people.
Flexible schedules / work environments (I work from a coffee shop a couple of afternoons a week).
Great backing from management if you're working on a "focus area" project.
Evening meetings with worldwide partners/colleagues. "Meh" salary improvements. Constant layoffs with relatively few new hires. Poor morale. Expensive cafeteria with sub-par food and service.
Avoid the "dead sea" effect, and recruit talent to allow backfills for outgoing talent.
