Pros

Lots of teams, some of which are filled with talented people and doing really interesting work.

Very good benefits and respectable base compensation for the industry.

Definitely a company built by engineers, so you get treated with respect as an IC. Direct technical managers are usually very good.

Cons

Big company bureaucracy and politics.

Upper management is frequently out of touch and doesn't communicate well on product direction.

Advice to Management

None
