Pros

The company genuinely cares about career growth for employees. You can have interesting projects to work on. There is excellent infrastructure and processes for software engineering. They offer great perks and compensation.

Cons

Fewer career opportunities in remote offices.

Decisions are often made without ample context by senior management.

Excessive meetings.

Pretends to be an environment where everyone can speak freely, but as we found with James Damore, that is not the case.

Advice to Management

We have excellent infrastructure for remote collaboration, so there is no need to keep herding everyone into the San Francisco Bay Area and driving up costs.
