Pros

Benefits are good, including an allowance for lifestyle, sports, and hobbies.

Cons

Work-life balance will depend on whether director-level leadership cares about people working in their teams or not.

Career advancement will heavily depend on whether one lands on a team that is working on a shiny new feature and whether the manager cares about one's career advancement.

Many managers are not trained to lead people; they are, for the most part, software developers who got promoted due to building systems, not for their leadership aptitude.

Advice to Management

Invest more in leadership training at all levels.
