Pros
Pre Google: --Great people --Interesting work --AWESOME engineers --mediocre PM, but I loved that they did talk to the client with us Post-Google: --free lunch
Cons
Pre-Google: --some people were a bit territorial and could make things difficult --make a mistake and get crucified Post-Google: --layoff 15% of the people with experience --don't hire them back despite the client base continuing to grow --replace the workforce with people with big degrees and no experience --these replacements were kids out of college who'd rather play all day and do projects instead of work --lack of management accountability --several managers completely unavailable --most managers unwilling to mentor or help with advancement
