Pros

It is possible to separate your personal and professional life.

Awesome engineers are always willing to help and contribute.

Nice campus.

Cons

Several reorgs and layoffs yearly making immigrant life (those requesting a green card to stay) miserable. Reactive talent retention and terrible compensation adjustment policy; one has to announce s/he is leaving in order to get a decent $.

Advice to Management

Stop treating engineers as linear people. Everyone is different, and it is not fair to adjust compensation equally when some are clearly performing better than others. Stop reorgs and layoffs.
