Pros

Good work-life balance sometimes. Scale of data. Challenging problems to solve in some teams.

Cons

Politics.

US teams generally do all the good work. The scale of the data is huge, but the infrastructure is horrible. It takes ages to run simple MR jobs.

There's a lack of a good platform.

No effort is made to retain good employees. They are interested in hiring new folks with lesser talent.

There is no guarantee that you will get your variable component, especially at higher levels.

Advice to Management

Value talent.
