Pros

Lots of ways to learn from the best in the industry.

Free food.

Nice people in general.

Good benefits and amenities.

Cons

Not challenging enough.

Lots of mid-level management, which leads to micromanagement of tasks.

I ran into an issue where it was very difficult to do anything that the senior engineer on the team didn't 'think correct' (and highly voted Stack Overflow answers couldn't convince him either).

Advice to Management

Be transparent and genuine. Or don't claim to be transparent. Don't disillusion your employees.

Trust your engineers; they're not just coding monkeys.
