Pros

Good pay. Not top of the industry, but competitive.

Lots of interesting research and new technology and projects.

Great co-workers.

A very organized and predictable review process for raises and promotions.

Unlimited promotion opportunities. Grow as high as your competence level and willingness to sacrifice your time and soul for the company.

Cons

Depressing gray cubes, often just large enough for your chair and computer, and often with short walls. You're surrounded by noise, and your co-workers will enjoy your conversation with your family.

Don't allow remote workers at this time. (I was laid off because I worked remotely.)

Advice to Management

Layoffs should be done based on merit and productivity, not on arbitrary rules. I worked remotely but was always successful or better in annual reviews.
