Pros

Good tools and equipment.

Products have global impact.

Great benefits.

Work with some of the smartest programmers on the planet.

Cons

You are on your own as far as career development goes. If you ever get a less than 'meets requirements' review, you are doomed and the review process is draconian.

Advice to Management

Stop making employees compete with each other. That is not a great way to build teams.
