Pros

You are surrounded by the smartest people in the world. This is the first job I had where I didn't feel like I was working with a bunch of idiots. It was fun to work on developing the latest and greatest technology.

Cons

Everyone is always worried about the next RA.

First-line managers' hands are tied.

Executive leadership is very shortsighted.

Advice to Management

Lower management needs to fight harder for their employees, and not just respond to executive direction with "Thank you, sir. May I have another?"

Companies need to spend money on something other than stock buy-backs.
