A high-performance culture depends on the individual
- Most engineers are talented and bright.
- Compensation is fair.
- Benefits are great (remote is a plus).
- Slack channels are fun and engaging.
- There's lots to learn.
Politics: Upper management plays favorites. However, if you perform well and make yourself visible, you will be recognized.

Team culture isn't engaging. It felt like you are there to work and form work relationships, which is fine if you are okay with that.
Frequent reorgs.
I personally felt like engineers and managers in my department didn't have work-life balance.
