Pros

Free soda, very good IT department, and a good culture of quality first.

Cons

There's a lot of subtle racism, nepotism, and political maneuvering going on that makes it difficult to focus on the job at hand.

Advice to Management

Stop hiring MBAs, assuming they can grasp the software industry. They usually don't.

Look at the demographics of certain teams and ask yourself why a particular demographic consistently gets hired and is given the bonus/promotion.
