Pros

Good health benefit, good, big campus.

Easily get insulated, meet many people.

Social opportunities, nice view in Seattle, good office.

Cons

Not fair. Manager fights for political reasons, not merit-based promotion. Top manager does not know or try to learn technology. It is becoming a local government agency.

Advice to Management

Change CEOs. Hire those who started good, small companies. Don't put managers who failed into new management positions. If they failed, they have to start from scratch.
