Pros
  • Great minds to work with.
  • Great benefits and perks.
Cons
  • Micromanagement up to some level.
  • There's some level of competency at the managerial level.
  • Verticals keep on changing to accommodate tenured manager promotions.
  • Work-life balance is not their best forte. People are "expected" to be up at 2 am if they are paged.
Advice to Management

Please stop micromanaging and start working backward from employees. You will thrive more.
