Pros

Work/Life balance was good on the team I worked with.

Benefits are quite good all around.

Able to work from home as long as my work gets done.

Cons

Yearly layoffs are pretty demoralizing all around.

Lots of legacy systems are around, which use outdated software, and upgrading them to current generation specs is not always in management's budget.

Direct managers can be nice, but directors and VPs typically just see you as a number, which makes it hard to feel valued.

The job is good for a paycheck, but it's hard to learn some of the newer technologies, although this seems to be changing recently.

Advice to Management

Listen to your employees. This is the same advice management everywhere should take.
