Great Place... ...for doers
Great Place... ...for doers
Very agile in the strict sense of the word. It moves quickly. It embraces innovation. It accepts failures and moves on. It truly focuses on the customers, not on politics. It's results-focused. It's been said to be more of a start-up environment than even start-ups are; that's how dynamic it is.
Not for the faint-of-heart. Certain departments burn people out.
It is often hard to have work-life balance. There are not a lot of perks (no slides...). Salaries are not always the highest around. It can be very hard to be promoted.
Focus on work-life balance.
Always prioritize reduction in operational burden; design for it.
Don't let the priority of the day randomize your team. Push back more to get more stability in priorities.
