Business Outlook

Pros

Great co-workers on the ground

Cons

Engineers are measured on the number of PRs they put out (I wish I was joking) Managers micromanage even their most senior engineers and push them to release things before they are ready Everything is siloed Product is even more dysfunctional than engineering
