Avantages
- Good benefits package (including 401K match) - Good onsite activities; innovation fairs, contests, gym classes, etc - You work with a lot of smart people - Interesting challenges, always something new to try - Good brand recognition, ability to learn more about business development - Opportunities for lateral movement - Decent work/life balance (but you have to be your own advocate)
Inconvénients
- There is an extreme amount of turnover at both management and individual contributor level. Management doesn't appear to be asking the right questions at exit interviews. Since most people always get more money when they change jobs, ask about the deeper reasons. It's hard to be committed to your team and to stay positive when you see your team manager(s) and teammate(s) leaving. - Lack of clear, consistent direction from senior management. The team you join will likely not be the same team you're on in 12 months. - Limited opportunities for upward advancement. - If you have a great idea, it will likely get diluted by many, many cooks in the kitchen.
