Pros

Colleagues are friendly and intelligent. Benefits are not bad, including medical, 401k, and vacations. Work-life balance is usually under your own control.

Cons

Salary is lower than many competitors like Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, etc. Many projects are in maintenance mode, which means you don't get to innovate much.

Advice to Management

Encourage more innovation and don't always ask for short-term business impact.

Increase salary to attract the best talent.
