Pros

Really smart developers there to do a good job, not just fill a seat.

Good compensation and benefits.

Cons

Operations/sysadmins aren't respected nor staffed like they should be. Devs get sucked into operational issues far too often in some teams.

Advice to Management

Ops as first-class citizens. Staff ops appropriately based on the system and needs, not at some "X ops per Y devs" ratio.
