Pros
  • Flexible work hours
  • Competitive pay
  • My team is great (although this is very team-dependent)
  • In my experience, if you work hard and are personable & grateful to others, others will be grateful back.
  • Have always felt comfortable speaking up when a product is not going smoothly without fear of retaliation from management.
Cons

Like any large company, sometimes you are restricted to explore outside of your current domain; you tend to fill a specific niche.

Progress upwards can be challenging, as only 1-2 people on each team might get a sizeable pay bump/promotion each year.

Constant re-org changes; you build up rapport with a certain manager only to have them leave (tale of a big company).

Pass-downs of products occur often and can be problematic if other teams are not responsive and you are on the receiving end.

Advice to Management

Continue open dialogue with frontline employees/engineers. Focus on quality over quantity.
