Pros

Being a large company, your position is somewhat more stable than average. Bonding leave and sabbatical are nice perks. A lot of great people still work here.

Cons

Compensation is not that great, and benefits are on a downward trend. People are not really valued. Leadership says one thing and does another; you can't really trust them. The work environment is subpar, with little to no natural light and a desk out in the open.

Advice to Management

When you make a screw-up like ACT, make it right instead of acknowledging you messed up and just moving on. If employees are made happy, then the byproduct is happy customers and stockholders. It makes no sense to give all upper management year after year double-digit raises and give the engineers 2% raises. People will leave, and the product will suffer unless changes are made.
