Pros
  1. Brilliant People
  2. Get to work on projects/products with large-scale impact.
  3. The brand name in the industry is good.
Cons
  1. No work-life balance. People who are single and workaholics would enjoy it in the initial few years.

  2. You might end up having a boss who is far less qualified than you.

  3. Operations are on the heads of developers, so new product development is always hampered.

  4. Employees are more or less a disposable commodity for the company.

Advice to Management

We need to focus on an innovation-driven approach instead of a dictator-driven one.
