Pros

There is a competitive work place and interesting technologies to work on. There is a good cafeteria.

Management in my group is accomodating of personal needs and time-off.

Cons

Very short sighted execution. Always in a fire-fighting mode with absolutely no foresight. Senior managements do not treat the employees with respect. CEO is extremely difficult person to work with with lot of ego. The "yesman" culture propogated through the ranks have absolutely destroyed critical and independent thinking amongst employees. This is a company which strives to be next big thing but poised for a crash and burn.

Advice to Management

Respect. There are people who are more knowledgeable in their specialities than the bosses. Management should plan the projects at least 3 years in the future instead of always playing catch-up.
