Business Outlook

Pros

- many interesting projects for engineers - smart SDE, SDETs and lots to learn - shuttle services although good luck using them if you are an SDE - Stock rising

Cons

- toxic environment - lots of politics - always in panic mode - zero work life balance - lots of incompetent managers conning their way in through the LP principles based interviews. Not going through enough technical rigor. - engineers are buried in work. So the path to grow is only for insincere and political managers. - too many program managers and not enough SDE s - managers trying to steal credit from engineers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good technology. Good spirit. Talented co-worker sometimes. Easy to transfer after 1 year stay. Work life balance is actually fair in Sunnyvale. I got some perks regarding my vacation (not having to file time sheet). Some of the experience is eye-opening (such as hour tracking that you hate but it might shade light on how you can be more efficient). Best for people as a jumping board but not really good for long term family life.

Cons

little coaching. If you are like me on the web stack side, you don't get useful coaching until you travel to Seattle. Stack ranking. Compensation is slightly above average but way behind top payers. Some team started to track hours and it is pain in the *ss if it is done as a routine.
