Pros

Great perks. The food at the cafeteria kept me up all night long.

The best and brightest engineers. Most people I am working with are very well-rounded, and I feel I could learn a lot from most of them. I can contribute to products which are used by millions of people every day. I enjoy analyzing challenging problems and finding a cost-effective solution.

Flexible hours and a relaxing working environment, including all the perks such as free meals.

Cons

When you start work there, they really take the time to make sure that you're trained properly so that you don't feel like a fish out of water, like at other companies.

The free lunches, great 401k, etc., you get large bonuses that can make the difference in a long day.

Advice to Management

Stay active in the life of a project.
