Pros

Competitive pay, on the paper.

Leadership principles.

Strong business cadence.

Good engineering talent.

Cons

Poor leadership that doesn't invest in people development.

Abusive culture; managers yell at employees in meetings.

Realized compensation is going to be less than what they present as TC.

Your experience depends on the team you are on, but it's a hit or miss.

They change their word all the time. Promises made during hiring won't be kept.

Work/life balance.

Advice to Management

People work for managers, not for companies.

Develop people leaders that invest in people development and respect others.

Build trust by following through on promises.
