Pros

Very talented and motivated engineers

Cons

Lots of non-technical management managing technical direct reports Lack of career growth Monopoly money stock options Bonuses only given to level 4 and above despite majority of work being done by level 1-3 engineers Constant reorgs. Varies from just changing manager to switching to an entirely different program/discipline Vaporware; lots of programs have design changes that keep sending you back to square 1. Makes you feel like what you work on will never get launched. Management taken over by Amazon
