A lot of good engineers and fairly competent middle management. However, the company is addicted to restructuring itself

Pros

Work-life balance is excellent. The office culture is very flexible. People are allowed to work from home when needed. During my tenure there, I have not experienced undue pressure and crunch time (other than self-inflicted). Benefits are on par with industry standards.

Cons

The company is lagging behind in technology and development methods. There is a lot of inertia in switching to shorter development cycles and applying feedback loops. Due to unusually long tenure for some senior managers and executives, they sometimes seem disconnected from the reality outside of the company and ignore obvious industry trends.

Advice to Management

A reality check is needed.
