Pros

Always on the cutting edge of technology.

Never a dull moment; I learn something new every day.

Fast-paced teams provide good opportunity for growth.

Cons

Unequal promotion criteria across different organizations. Politics around reviews. The nature of engineering work in several retail teams is uninspiring.

Advice to Management

You are losing some great, long-tenured engineers by not promoting them. There is an internal joke that the easiest way to get promoted is to leave the company and return in six months.
