Pros

The teamwork, when it clicks (about 80% of the time), is incredible. Individuals carry tremendous responsibility, but always have the cross-functional team there to support and back them up.

Cons

The complexity, intensity, and time spent doing this job consumes most of one's life. There is no work vs. life balance. It is work/life synthesis. I've become comfortable with that; for some, it doesn't make sense.

Advice to Management

Continuously re-commit to making great products that enrich people's lives. Continuously re-commit to attracting and cultivating great people. Be tough while being kind.
