Pros

Good work/life balance.

Wide range of opportunities throughout the career, with freedom and options to move from kernel development to Machine Learning in Search.

The company invests in its employees.

Best health insurance ever.

Ideal company for those who have kids! Family activities, doctors are sent to your house, etc. The location is also the best for kids (very different than SF/Bay Area).

Cons

Several products need better vision.

Advice to Management

Request top talent (rating 1) to give their vision of the product they work on. Managers are good at managing, not necessarily have good vision.
