Pros
Culture of respect for employees; good daycare and decent benefits (although that might have changed now). Culture of responsibility and pride in the product. Management is usually good about evaluating priorities and ROI. Lots of people have been there for a long time.
Cons
Lots of RIFs lately and uncertainty about where the industry is headed. Some departments are more secure and professional than others.
Advice to Senior Management
Offer job-shadowing or connect a new employee with a more senior employee in a similar position for support. There is a culture of longevity which is difficult for new-hires to crack.
