Pros

The people are great: smart, supportive, interesting, and they just make it a great place to work.

The benefits are off the wall outstanding.

People listen to you. They may not agree or do what you suggest, but they do listen.

Cons

A lot of people don't like the company because they think of it as an evil monopoly, and that can result in some painful conversations. I do wish the top management would make a few less really dumb decisions.

Advice to Management

Time to get organized a bit. The CEO lacks focus at times.

Plus, they really need to hire some senior managers (SVP and up) who believe in and live the company values and not just try to fake it.
