The good and the bad
The good and the bad
High salary. Good opportunities for growth. A lot of smart, competent engineers to learn from. You get a high degree of ownership from the projects you work on.
If you are not doing well, you will not be told until it's already in writing for HR.
Top-level management makes unpopular, top-down decisions that are not supported by data.
Managers must fire a certain amount of people every year to meet a quota and stack rank other engineers against each other, which does not breed a great culture.
Provide more active coaching for employees who need it before using focus. You will lose trust if you are telling them they are doing fine and then, a short time later, they are placed into focus.
