Pros

Learning opportunities are tremendous. Work with bright colleagues. Build amazing stuff. Market visibility of the products.

Cons

Benefits suck.

Long hours based on what team you are in. Developers have to be on-call with crazy busy schedules.

Managers are given too much autonomy. That means they play politics with their own reportees and just PIP someone just because they don't like them for whatever reasons, but start making a case.

Advice to Management

Work on managers, and listen to your employees.
