Pros

Good compensation (although not the best).

If you end up in the right team/product, then it can be really fun and engaging.

Cons

Management is pure crap, probably the worst you can find.

Managers (from direct to VP level) are just a bunch of email addicts doing nothing except re-organizing every 6 months to justify their job.

There is also a lot of incompetent engineers, really unbelievable.

Advice to Management

Fire yourself and bad engineers.
