Pros

Flexibility to wear every hat. Benefits are decent for a corporate job. Salary is adjusted for the cost-of-living. Some teams are excellent; it really depends on where you land.

Cons

Difficult to move up.

Managers do not go through sufficient leadership training.

Annual Review is heavily biased in international teams, favoring non-US teams.

Off-shoring many jobs.

No dental coverage.

RTO mandate punctured productivity.

Close to impossible to move internally.

Advice to Management

Undergo leadership training.

If you are VP, you are expected to be an individual contributor.
