Pros

Innovation, creativity, the chance to do anything with the 20 percent time. The chance to work on innovative products alongside some extremely smart people.

Cons

It's too big. Not like the days of the .com. Their options are worthless. Managers want to protect their butts. Benefits suck.

Advice to Management

Be flexible, like the .com days. Don't be too greedy. Let employees have a difference. Let there be true innovation. I want to party.
