Pros
  • Good benefits
  • Above average pay
  • Great stock
  • Variety of products and teams to work on or with
Cons
  • Development can be slow due to the scale of the company/product.
  • Politics can creep in, especially on the product management side.
Advice to Management

A lot of time is wasted by folks on politics (I know this person, I've worked on that product, look how great I am) rather than getting work done.

Find ways to cut that out.
