Pros

Lots of smart people. A team atmosphere where it seems like most people are making a difference. Unusual perks that lead to being a member of a family, a team.

Cons

Management has spoiled us in order to become the #1 Forbes-rated company. Now they think we are a bunch of entitled assholes. They created us... now they are unhappy with what they promised us to get to #1.

Advice to Management

Don't lose sight of what made Google great. The free perks go a long way towards making people happy and keeping people at a unique work environment.

When considering getting rid of free cereal, note that every perk you take away from us, the more you'll have to pay in salary to keep me when another company comes knocking.
