Pros

Great benefits. The vacation policy changed, and it is no longer an issue. Diverse projects to work on. Given a lot of independence and responsibility to shine.

Cons

Hard to move teams.

Health coverage not so great.

Benefits are slowly being eroded.

Review system is not the greatest.

Changes are afoot, and so hopefully things get better.

Advice to Management

More transparency would be appreciated about decisions.
