Pros

Super smart people. It is easy to not work very hard in most groups, yet still get paid really well. Huge reach and possible impact if you avoid teams where you work on one small, tiny piece.

Cons

Tons of bureaucracy, and it's hard to make big changes. Management tries to manage on things they don't understand. You have to deal with Seattle weather.

Advice to Management

Interact with people lower in the company to really understand what people feel about products.
