Not the ending I had in mind
Smart people, generally a meritocracy.
Nice offices with all the perks.
Cool technologies.
Not what it claims to be, culture-wise. It seems like most people were more concerned with making themselves valued than actually creating a cohesive team. I was suddenly terminated after two years of "valued" performance reviews. I was definitely not the best engineer, but I didn't deserve to be kicked to the curb and treated so poorly. Security escorted me out after the surprise firing. There was no severance, no bonus (I was one month away from it), and nothing else. That's at-will employment for you, I guess.
Don't put incompetent people with no real leadership qualities in team-lead roles. Eliminate the middle managers who don't have a backbone and don't really do anything.
