Pros

Good life/work balance – the code development branch is locked all the time, giving employees plenty of time to goof off.

Cons

Promotions are impossible unless you threaten to leave.

No bonus this year (well, maybe others think a 4% annual bonus is a 'bonus').

Innovation is non-existent.

This whole JUNOS transformation thing is going to be so painful, I don't want to be around when that cascade of disasters hits.

Advice to Management

Pay your employees bonuses for their hard work.

Promote from within; none of this "hire people from outside" mentality. I feel existing employees are never going to be promoted anymore.
