Pros

A couple of helpful, knowledgable folks. Beer, t-shirts, mugs.

Cons

Folks who have the right experience don't get promoted. There are folks who have a ton of experience but don't get to take up major managerial roles. Some manangers just try to pick up skills on the job or try learning from their subordinates. Ego-driven managers. Low-ball pay structure. No bonuses. Employee-performance reviews are politically motivated. Lack of transparency in decision-making.
