Pros

Generous pay, relaxed working environment.

Cons

Mind-numbing work, terrible management, zero product vision. It's an enterprise software company; they want you to be a cog in the machine. It's a very risk-averse engineering team, and it's becoming more so every day. This will catch up to them eventually.

Advice to Management

Identify your true talent and break their chains. Empower them to self-organize, take risks, and disregard corporate politics. They will surprise you.
