Pros

Amazing work in terms of designing large-scale systems. Some leadership principles are good, but everything on LPs is overkill. Great learning at a higher level and high-level design as well. Perks and benefits are good.

Cons

Compensation varies based on individual and negotiation skills.

Work is highly team-dependent and can be toxic.

There's no proper communication, and leadership principles can sometimes ruin your work-life balance.

Advice to Management

Micro-management is bad.

Literally, 80% of management is LP-based, and it sucks. There should be other yardsticks to measure success; dependence on one yardstick is not good.
