Pros

Benefits are good (except for the bonus based on company performance), a respectful and knowledge-sharing culture, a nice and safe working environment, and the colleagues (most of them) are genuinely nice people.

Cons

Salary is average and increment is criminally low. At some point, the amount of work can be excessive. There are frequent personal reports where employees are forced to write. Some execs will push you to do their overly ambitious ad-hoc tasks regardless of your current workload and without recognition or OT pay. Some bonuses can be volatile to the point some people start questioning the existence of them.

Advice to Management

Please start looking for a better way to retain employees, especially during the uncertainties of the market.
