Pros

Lots of talented people to work with. Good work-life balance. Pay for tuition reimbursement. Unlimited investment choices for the 401k plan.

Cons

Some of the product units have poor leadership.

There is a lot of overlapping or redundant projects.

It is difficult to switch groups within Silicon Valley.

Advice to Management

Make it easier to find resources within the company. Encourage groups to work with each other. Move to a distributed development model: open R&D centers in more metropolitan areas.
