Pros
  • Good benefits
  • Work-life balance
  • Can easily move around groups and apply for internal jobs
  • I took an international transfer and they were supportive
  • RSUs
Cons
  • Bought Slack for a whopping $35 billion but now don't know what to do with it. It turned out to be a dud.
  • Technical people have limited growth (in Services), but sales people grow to the top.
Advice to Management

Please don't smoke crack before you go shopping for another acquisition and pay $35B for a dud.
