Pros
  • Cutting-edge technology.
  • Interesting and new products to work on.
Cons

Review process [is] pretty hardcore. Reviews used to be (not sure if still are) on a bell curve, so someone had to do poorly, even when everyone was doing awesome.

Advice to Management

More transparency with the direction of the company and the review process would lead to more innovation.
