Pros

Definitely learn a lot more than you initially thought.

Technically good managers and micro-architects who are easily approachable.

Cons

Fast technical ramp, but low promotional aspects due to deep levels of hierarchy. Mediocre salary/compensation for the amount of work that you do. Best-in-class work is expected, but the compensation doesn't seem to be best-in-class. People's morale droops when they're hammered with work without proper compensation.

Advice to Management

Retain RCGs and young talent with less than 5 years experience. An approximately 2% salary increment for a successful year is a joke. Compensation within a pay grade should not vary by more than 5% of the highest drawn salary. It seems fair when compared to a 35% pay differential within the same pay grade. Stick to one organizational change for at least a couple of years.
