Pros

Working with the smartest people in the world.

The amount of perks and bonuses is incredible.

Great breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a lot of choice.

Cons

The leadership seems completely detached from the engineers and the users.

Constant fear of being laid off.

You have to deliver new shiny things for recognition and promotion.

Working with the best means hard competition for promotion.

Advice to Management

Respect existing projects and recognize maintainers. Listen to the users. Be more down to earth.
