Pros

It is a company that embraces change better than anyone else, ruthlessly. You can be the source of change voluntarily, with the freedom to fail. It is a great engineering company.

Cons

The company as a whole has a great vision, but deeper into some places:

  • Territorial bureaucracy (roles/teams/org)
  • Loyalist rewards where manipulation thrives
  • WLB trap that works against innovation and sets you up to fail
Advice to Management

Leadership principles are used as check-box criteria for the talent review of the success bureaucracy.
