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.
