Pros

The work environment was great!

Awesome colleagues, learned lots of new skills.

Lots of freedom.

Moonlighting (you are allowed to work on own projects off-hours and keep the rights).

Lots of opportunities to move around the company.

I was in an office which offered breakfast and lunch.

Cons

Lots of projects in the company get shelved; chances are you will be working on one of them. I was working on GUI-related stuff, which I am not a fan of. Development of products is heavily influenced by management.

Advice to Management

You should better allocate people's skills and interests.
