Pros
Brilliant people Meaningful work Crazy opportunity to make a difference Autonomy and teamwork
Cons
Working to navigate out of some pretty PR rough waters/sins of the past Have a tendency to try to boil the ocean
Advice to Management
Gain and maintain focus on only as many projects as your teams can handle. remember that new initiatives need to be balanced with existing projects, maintenance and constant system improvements. In software there is rarely, if even a project that is one and done... maintenance, improvement and iteration never ends until its time to EOL.

Pros
Free food. Standard compensation.
Cons
Subpar quality of engineering leadership. 90% of remaining engineers are from exactly same background. Basically everyone who is capable of getting a job somewhere else, has already left or looking to leave.

Pros
Super friendly co-workers, great training, great management (in the beginning)
Cons
Quotas were super difficult and the job itself was monotonous. It's a sales job so if you don't perform you'll get fired. You are just a number, and you bring in numbers. Takes a long time to move up, but if you get in with the right people there is "some" job security.
Advice to Management
Transparency and realistic expectations.

Leadership empowers employees to own career growth and development. Every level of leadership from Supervisor to CEO is approachable and cares about your career and your development.
Cons
Not much of a con if you have a strong work ethic, but you will have to work hard, so if thats not you, this might not work out for your
