Chance to work with quite a few intelligent people.
Wide range of technologies to work on.
Relatively fair salary and great benefits.
Terrible philosophy on performance management: survival of the fittest. This is enforced with a performance curve and periodic cleansing, where the tail of the curve must leave the company, and most of the others get unfair rewards.
As a result, people compete with each other, not with other companies.
Change performance management system.
