Depends on your project and manager; it's hard to transfer
See your company and maybe your work in the headlines. Work with some of the best and brightest co-workers in the world. Work with applications that millions of people use and enjoy. Great food, good benefits, and bonuses. Information exchange inside the company is quite open, making it easy to find out about opportunities.
This can be hard to transfer to a new project, which can lead to the need to excel at something you don't like in order to earn your way out of it.
The opportunities for 20% time are real, but you may not have enough time and energy to make use of them.
Management is often hands-off and not necessarily helpful or encouraging. Find peers to encourage and support you.
