Pros

Amazing benefits, perks, and work culture.

Cons

No ability to telecommute full time. Generally, offices are in expensive areas, so the high salary does not equate to a luxury lifestyle. You are making six figures, but real estate prices for an average 2-3 bedroom suburban house are in the millions, so you end up living a middle-class lifestyle.

Advice to Management

Consider allowing telecommuting full time so employees can find more affordable housing, and/or building more offices in less expensive areas.

You don't have to have offices in high-end areas in order to attract top talent.
