Pros

Go for strategic decisions, good compensation, great engineering challenges, potential for travel, and, on the whole, co-workers are great.

Cons

Some mid-level managers are mechanical and manipulative, making no effort to connect with people on their teams. They realize being visible and moving up means saving money, regardless of how the company is performing or the impact to projects. Also, HR does not actively support hiring and does not act as a check and balance on management behavior. They are simply there to support executive decisions and implement policy.

Advice to Management

Promote higher EQ leaders who can drive hard but also motivate, not just the soulless "money savers". It will be a much more energized place to work.
