Pros

Work remotely.

Good 401k match, health insurance is ok, lots of opportunities within the company.

Company provided laptops.

Cons

The best people leave and go to more interesting companies/projects.

There's a total disconnect between performance reviews and reality.

It's basically impossible to get a raise or a decent bonus.

Advice to Management

Greater effort needs to be made to recognize good employees and people who work hard, even if they aren't working on an external product. Realize that giving people a 1% bonus is probably worse than giving them nothing. It's very insulting, and you should be ashamed of yourselves, with as much money as this company makes.
