Pros

Good pay, benefits, and people. You're literally working on stuff that will affect the world. Your work will be used by millions of people, and that's always a great feeling.

Cons

Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines. They're sometimes unrealistic and more of a "stake in the sand" mentality. The mindset seems, "If you give them a date, they will work very hard to make it, whether they will or not." This is true, but it also burns out a lot of good people, and you can only do this so many times.

If you are of importance to any project, you're expected on call 24/7.

Advice to Management

Stand up and fight for more resources. Your teams are overworked and underappreciated. If there's so much money to pay for dividends on stock, why not hire more people so you may have balanced work/life?
