Why not? The pay is lower than Google, equity is below that of Facebook and rather meager, it doesn't provide the freedom of a startup, and 80 percent of the job is navigating politics.
I have my list of why it's a great place to work, but I also have my list negatives. I'd like to hear other's candid opinions.

There's a summary of an interesting RSA talk at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc ; I'd appreciate links to the mentioned studies if anyone has them.
- brg 16y agoWhat you linked to is an animation of a Ted talk by Daniel Pink. This in turn comes out of his book Drive. The thesis is that a higher paycheck will not spur greater creativity; it says nothing about what will spur one to move laterally to a company. All things being equal, people would rather have more pay. People always say that they are making enough at their level; but when the offer comes, it takes about 10% to get someone to move from Redmond to Seattle.
