Pros

Very flexible work environment, casual attire, come and go as needed, long lunches, and a relaxed atmosphere.

Co-workers and management seem to get along well.

As an enormous company, there are a ton of opportunities to develop skills and try something different.

Cons

Salary lags competition, and raises/bonuses are scarce. The company isn't the most stable for long-term employment, and morale has taken a hit as a result over the years. Healthcare and other benefits are almost comically poor for a family.

Advice to Management

Boost morale, somehow. Invest more in talent.
