Pros
  • Great peers.
  • Awesome work; you can set directions for a lot of technical initiatives regardless of the level you are at.
  • Work on open source, especially in the System Infra group where many Apache projects have evolved.
  • Great food.
  • Stock with good upside potential (at least I believe so).
  • Company cares about employees (many amenities and perks, free classes, and employee-focused events).
  • Monthly InDays (one was themed around parents in 2015 - BIYP, my mom really loved it).
  • Good compensation and work-life balance.
  • Two yearly shutdowns (rather than one at the year-end at most places) and unlimited vacations.
Cons
  • None at the moment.
  • You might grow a bit faster at a startup, but then it's a personal choice.
Advice to Management

Keep up the good work and continue investing in employees' future and ambitious goals.
