Amazing pay and benefits, high stress
The pay is very high, especially for someone fresh out of college.
Great health insurance plans.
401k matching.
Constantly surrounded by talented people.
Engineering practices are top-tier.

High stress environment. You are expected to pick things up very fast and deliver high-quality work quickly.

Turnover rate is about a year for good reason. This job will squeeze as much out of you as possible.
-
Very individualistic job. You are the owner of your projects, which causes an "everyone for themselves" kind of feel at times.
Management needs to consider work-life balance more and take steps to address the mental toll this work environment has on its employees.
