Pros

Surrounded by lots of very smart people who are extremely passionate about their work.

Challenging problems to work on.

Dynamic work environment with rapidly-changing technical challenges and market conditions.

Solid products that are easy to be proud of, and frequently products you would use yourself.

Cons

The company sells products to teenage boys, and sometimes this unfortunately carries over into allowing people (even managers, even senior management) to act like teenage boys on the job -- immature, male-dominated, sometimes bullying, and with low diversity.

The deadlines can be very challenging. I'm not sure it's a great place for work/life balance.

Advice to Management

Concentrate more on competence and leadership ability in senior and middle management. Get rid of those not achieving this.
