Pros

Work/Life Balance is literally amazing.

The environment and teams you work with are wonderful.

Managers have always been extremely helpful to me as a junior engineer.

You won't find a nicer group of people to work with.

Team leads and subject matter experts always seem willing to help when you get stuck.

Cons

Certain projects feel stagnant, as potential for growth seems entirely dependent on whether upper management feels the product/project is worth investing "resources" in.

Advice to Management

Don't forget about employees working for "legacy" products. In two years, I've seen a lot of talented young engineers leave for other opportunities because they worked on projects where they felt their potential for growth was limited, and that the risk of being stuck on a sinking ship was too high.
