Pros

- Pay - Benefits - Not as cutthroat as many other mainstream companies

Cons

- Employee development not consistent/homogenous - some "young guns" are handed the keys via hand-picked development opportunities, others are simply thrown in the "deep end" and left to sink or swim - "Nano-management" style seems to have taken over, making some aspects of the engineering work a "drag"; the company wants things to be done faster and faster, yet management keeps putting more "hoops to jump through" into our path

Working with great people makes such a difference day to day – it's good to hear that's been a real part of your experience. We hear you on internal progression – career growth can feel different for everyone, and we know we've still got work to do to make development paths clearer. Feedback like yours really helps us move in the right direction.
