Why is this a danger?

  Indeed. Being in a nice campus can make a huge difference for morale. In some corporations the engineering offices look like crap while the executive offices are beautiful. Based just on that you can tell that the corporation doesn't really give a crap about its engineers. I'd rather not work in a corporation who thinks that their engineers are not important enough to give them a beautiful working environment.

    I once worked at a company (a software company, even) where the developer's office were behind a very long dark hallway filled with multiple years of accumulated garbage. There was an open desk with a peekaboo view of Puget Sound, but I wasn't allowed to sit there because someone with seniority might want to sit there, even though the more senior person didn't want to move. Hell yeah, I'll take a beautiful campus if you'll give me one.

  I'd hardly consider basically a big warehouse/hangar full of mobile desks and some kitchens to be extravagant. It seems like the lowest cost way to warehouse lots of engineers in an open plan environment, which Facebook for some reason really likes.
