Pros

Flexible work schedule, good health/dental benefits. The Stay Fit program is awesome!

Cons

Management is very closed-door.

Employees are often left in the dark about goals and project priorities until the last minute.

Unless you're lucky to get on a high-visibility project, career growth is slow.

Advice to Management

Loop in your direct reports so we can be involved and not left out in the cold, wasting cycles all the time.
