Pros

The well-known perks are all there. You are given quite a bit of freedom and autonomy within your project or team's scope. The work is challenging and interesting.

Cons

Good luck taking advantage of the perks. I felt like I was sneaking out anytime I walked over to get a coffee or talk a quick walk around the building for a break. Expected to be at work from 8 AM to 11 PM. Was reprimanded for taking advantage of amenities instead of working (an hour out of a 14-hour day).

Advice to Management

Don't treat people like machines.
