Still a good place to work, but not the same place it was in the early years
Working with and learning from some of the most brilliant engineers in your field.
Tech talks, visiting speakers, classes, etc., give you lots of opportunities to learn about a myriad of subjects.
Working on some of the most interesting and innovative projects in the world.
Excellent senior management.
Long work hours -- 10+ hours/day is typical for many engineers.
Middle management is hit and miss. Some managers I've worked with are excellent, others mediocre. I haven't had any managers that I thought were actively out to get me.
More actively eliminate under-performing employees. I know plenty of engineers and managers that my peers would agree aren't worth the salary they're being paid.
