Pros

Very talented people. Interesting projects with a significant research component. Products have an impact. Good perks and a pleasant work environment (most people have offices, not cubes).

Cons

Limited opportunity for advancement.

Best teams don't necessarily get needed resources.

"Not invented here" syndrome, tendency to reinvent the wheel.

Advice to Management

Offer a clearer path for career development. Increase developer interaction with the larger community in their fields. Prune priorities to achieve better focus and results for the real priorities.
