Pros

Amazing benefits and perks. Great pay. Extremely unique, eye-opening experience.

Cons

Your closest coworkers can often turn out to secretly be your worst enemies. They might claim credit for your work while bashing you to your manager behind your back. You can't trust anyone around you. There are way too many people.

Advice to Management

Rethink your metrics, your values. Try being honest with yourself and criticizing yourself for once.

Be more humble and stop just giving your friends great reviews despite their performance while giving others low reviews so you can keep your friends around.
