Pros

Pay is relatively good for early career.

Can learn a good bit during early career.

Good health benefits.

Good coworkers (engineers).

Cons

Culture is slowly worsening.

Performance management is a form of stack ranking.

Too much management and poor management processes.

Leadership is an MBA circle.

After Principle Associate, it's hard to do real engineering work (constantly in meetings and putting out fires/doing non-engineering work).

Advice to Management

They already get plenty of advice; they just don't listen.
