Pros

Engineering-driven culture at the bottom level. Great technical teams and a lot of strong talent to work with.

Cons

Lack of a strong central vision makes products poor in consistency.

Not a culture designed around providing a first-class customer experience.

Upper management varies a lot in terms of culture, both good and bad.

Advice to Management

Give direct reports a strong say in the promotion process without exposing them to retaliation. This would expose 90% of all the toxic leadership issues.
