Pros

Managers are generally very approachable. Great teamwork. Managers even code a lot; they can directly help people to grow a lot. They encourage innovations and open-source adoptions. Really large-scale and challenging and interesting problems and projects.

Cons

Some teams are pretty busy. Goals are very aggressive. Work-life balance is OK.

Some projects should use simpler solutions. Employee levels are not bad, but there's a really big gap compared to Facebook/Google.

Advice to Management

Keep encouraging top people to join. Focus more on code quality and innovative, simpler software.
