Pros

Cutting-edge technology. Enormous depth of resources. Lots of really brilliant people.

Cons

No respect for the worker.

Before we were bought out, we had free coffee, basic paper supplies (spoons, forks, plates), sodas, and offices with doors. After, we moved into cubicles or doubled up in offices, received no raises except for one or two in the department, no coffee, no paper supplies, and most recently, no working from home.

Advice to Management

Treat workers with a little more respect if you want them to stay. Otherwise, come right out and make it clear you want everyone to quit.
