Mobility is encouraged; engineers can switch teams at a very high frequency. (I will not advise that, though, as, in my opinion, engineers should try a team or role for at least six months).

Deliveries and results are appreciated; executors can grow easily, and verbal claimers cannot survive here.

Hands-on career tracks are deep; software engineers can grow all the way up to distinguished engineer, e.g., James Gosling.

• Engineers or Managers looking for a limited-hour job may not find one. Work is at times demanding, though work-life balance is encouraged and possible.

Ensure culture and principles for new hires, from Level 1 to Level 5 employees, remain the same as they were 10-15 years ago.
