Great location, many opportunities to define your job role, and big problems to solve. A lot of really talented people to learn from.

There are also a lot of really passive people who wait to be told what to do. They don't seek to improve anything, just collect a paycheck and complain about problems without providing a solution to them. These people are kept around as buffer for the yearly layoffs.

Stop keeping under-performers as buffer for the yearly culling. Manage them out and bring in passionate individuals. Technical skill isn't everything. Upper management, stop punishing managers who do take an active role with poor performance and get off the yearly cycle.
