Business Outlook
Pros
Tremendous scope for going in different professional directions in different domains, with different technologies, etc. Very different work environments/cultures in different parts of the company. Reports of slave-driving behavior generally exaggerated. No sense of robotic corporate kool-aid that all must drink. Competitive compensation, pleasant location, looks good on resume, etc.
Cons
Level of intensity and creative chaos in some groups may be overwhelming for some. Preponderance of young, ambitious, hyper-focused, look-alike engineers. Demanding, not always family-friendly. Rather Darwinian approach to performance management.
