Pros

Good pay, benefits, and perks, including free food.

Cons

Toxic culture based on performance reviews. They literally give you bonus points if you "generate" or "feed" work for other engineers. They don't value good work, elegant design, or reliable software. Instead, they value the number of bugs and issues fixed. Hence, people write crappy software with lots of bugs and then either fix bugs or, more often, hire another engineer to rewrite the whole thing, and the cycle repeats. No wonder Metaverse didn't take off, and they are laying off people.

Advice to Management

Significant cultural changes are needed.
