Pros

A chance to work with some very bright individuals. If you are lucky to land in the right group, a chance to work on products that are used by a large population of users.

Cons

So many bright individuals in one company. To get ahead, many become focused on climbing the corporate ladder rather than furthering their engineering career.

Overly competitive to the point of being destructive rather than constructive.

Advice to Management

Focus on developing great engineers by placing more value on the work of good performers.
