Better Opportunities in Silicon Valley
Pros
You will be asked to do an extraordinary amount of work and to travel frequently, so there's a great opportunity to learn if you have little experience.
Cons
You will be asked to do an extraordinary amount of work...but you won't be well-compensated for it. If you're going to make large personal sacrifices for mediocre compensation in one of the most expensive areas in the world, work for a smaller company that will provide some equity upside. Most senior managers do not live in California. That should speak volumes. No communication between upper management and even senior level functional areas. Dysfunctional, deep-seeded animosity between functional groups. Marketing is sales support, not product management. Very high turnover in marketing and engineering.
