Pros
  • Solid compensation package.
  • Smart coworkers.
  • Great mentorship.
  • You get your own (maybe shared) office, so it is easy to get work done with regards to that. (May have changed now, though).
Cons

The offer did not have a team associated with it, so you are going in blind in terms of what you will be working on.

There is little ability to move across teams should you not feel the original team is a good fit.

It is very easy to feel like just a number while working there.

There was a definite vibe that all that seemed to matter was the stock price at the end of the day.

A feeling like everything is always on fire.

Loads of meetings.

Can be micromanagey.

Advice to Management

Cut down on meetings and empower employees.
