Pros
  • Managers tell you what needs to be done and why, giving you the freedom to decide how to achieve the goals.
  • Deadlines are reasonable and rarely require late nights or weekends.
  • Very little process gets in the way of coding.
  • No junior engineers, no slackers allowed.
  • Managers are very willing to fire employees who do not get their jobs done or who have a bad attitude, so everyone is good at their job and easy to work with.
  • Base pay is at least double what you're currently making (though there are no RSUs).
Cons
  • It lacks some of the fun corporate secrets that Apple & Google have.
  • The only thing that will grow is your salary. There's no real opportunity for a bigger/better title.
Advice to Management
  • Do not lower hiring standards, or you will lose that magic.
