Pros

Top of market base plus generous equity, with lots of food and perks. If you're good, you can work on world-class software.

Cons

Lots of politics, lots of pretenders, and lots of kool-aid.

Advice to Management

Cool it on the company propaganda, and stop letting underqualified people lead entire teams.
