Pros

A great place to learn engineering best practices. You’ll have access to incredibly smart people and be offered challenges to innovate.

Cons

It’s not for the faint of heart.

Expectations are high. If you don’t think you’re a rock star who can deliver on those expectations, it may not be for you.

Pressure can be highly team-dependent.

Advice to Management

Focus on innovation and keeping high performers happy. Empathy for their lives helps them deliver better.
