Pros
  • Great benefits
  • The best people I have ever worked with.
  • Get to work on things that literally change the world.
Cons

Marching towards big corporate culture. Very centralized, hard to show impact from a remote office. Management is becoming deeper and deeper.

Advice to Management

Resist the urge to grow at all costs.

Remember what made Google great – it was amazingly good at avoiding opportunity cost.

Nowadays, the chance of successfully working on something groundbreaking that came from the bottom is close to zero.
