Pros

It is a decent place to work if you're lucky enough to be on any of the nicer teams.

Cons
  • A couple of ex-Amazonians want to act like this is Amazon.
  • But remember, a goose is male, and a gander is female.
  • Figure out why the statement "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" isn't necessarily always true.
  • There are reorgs too often with quiet, covert layoffs.
  • People who blow their horns tend to get further than most who don't care much about stuff like that.
