Pros

Good benefits, good pay, good location, decent office community, fun people to work with, and a kegerator.

Cons

Lots of corporate overhead and micromanagement, inability to fight against sweeping policy changes, and a lack of trust in employees (e.g., a corporate firewall for random harmless sites but not others).

Advice to Management

Listen to your employees. If a lot of people are telling you something, it's probably for a good reason. Generally, give your employees more flexibility in accomplishing business goals.
