Pros

All the benefits of working in a big company: shuttles, free food, pingpong, pool, gym, free coffee all day long, parties, events, 401k.

If you work for the mobile team, you will get a good and meaningful experience. Smart and nice people, and also very modest and down to earth.

Cons

The culture is like an old governmental office. They are not high achievers; they are stuck in their comfort zone for 20 years already. They are not ambitious, not doing anything new. The average age is 10+ years in comparison to Facebook.

Advice to Management

Bring new young talents that are energetic and active, high achievers. Fire all the old-school people who are stuck there from the 90s.

Stop playing bunker and try to get back into the game by rebranding and renovating all their products. Apply some new designs.
