Pros

Great benefits, great projects, lots of perks, great internal mobility.

Awesome health insurance and 401k.

For a software engineer, the choice of project team can be mind-boggling, and excitement and learning can be had in every corner of the company.

Cons

It's starting to get crowded at the mid to senior levels and is becoming more bureaucratic. Management quality can be spotty, as management training has not kept pace with rapid hiring, so your experience with your manager can vary.

Advice to Management

Career paths at the more senior levels are murky, and it is getting very crowded at mid to senior engineering levels.

Advancement is slow and can be difficult.
