Pros

Salary and vacation are good. Work/life balance is fine, as long as you realize you don't get rewarded for working extra hours or penalized for just putting in 40.

Cons

Corporate is doing everything they can to alienate top talent. Over the past several years, they've taken away raises for top performers, reduced bonuses, taken away the pension, changed the 401k plan and employee stock purchase plan, cancelled most company outings/lunches, reduced site maintenance, including trash pickup, taken away office supplies, and gotten rid of the free water.

Advice to Management

Senior management is doing a great job of making themselves rich.
