Pros

Working with smart and focused professionals on interesting technology

Cons

Lack of work/life balance. Too many "death marches". Agressive people with egos tend to drive milestones and program goals.

Too many projects that are "me-too" and duplicate other companies success stories. (E.g., iPod -> Zune, iPhone -> WinMobile, etc)

Advice to Senior Management

Show more appreciation to workers who want a life along with a job.
