Smart people who were chosen to be good to work with and empathic of others.

Important work. Huge scope. Solid mentorship.

Enormous self-direction. Continuous opportunity fountain.

Literally the best large company I can imagine working for, and I came from a mid-senior role at Google that wasn't shabby.

It took a year and a half to learn to play defense on my work-life balance. There's a spectrum of teams, and while some offer fantastic balance, others just don't.

The lesson was that they let you pick your own team, and that's something you can select for.

I'd love to see management be half as open with the press as they are with employees. I think we'd do way better in the average sensationalist news cycle if they had more access, not less.
