High-tech, cool factor, tons of toys, shiny modern offices, a young and mature crowd, and a quiet, safe neighborhood near plenty of good places to have lunch.
Boss was a good engineer who was promoted way too early, so he had NO people management skills whatsoever. I left after being tired of hearing him scream at us, including senior engineers whom he would get angry at when he was under stress.

Surround junior managers with mentors and offer them an easy way to get help and support when they are not comfortable with a specific situation.
Promote engineers to manager only when they have proven people skills as a team lead.
