Pros

Freedom to do things you are really interested in. In addition to 20% time, it is also easy to change projects, and there is no manager to manage you all the time; you are on your own most of the time.

Good salary, bonus, and benefits.

  • Great coworkers: very smart and nice people, and you can learn a lot from them.
  • You can sense that the management really wants to treat the employees well. Their target is to build a great company and serve the world, not just for profit.
Cons

somewhat disorganized, so you may not fit if you don't know what to do without somebody telling you.

Grow too fast, not all employees are as high quality as before.

Advice to Management

We've got enough engineers now; let's fully use them!
