Pros

If you want it, plenty of teams have good work-life balance. Plenty don't, though.

Cons

Need better stock refreshers. It's not fair returning interns get 120-150k stock, yet as a high performer whose initial stock grant has expired, I received an SSA, but it doesn't compare to switching to a FANG.

Advice to Management

If you want people not to move to FANG, give good stock refreshers.
