Flexible schedule, interesting projects (if you can get into the group), good training courses offered (if manager allows), great career opportunities for early-career folks.
Low morale among coworkers, inconsistent skill level of first and second-level management, just-okay cafeteria, office decor from the 90s, limited reward for working harder than others, difficulty moving up in the company unless you are management, not a lot of incentive for mid- to late-career engineers to stick around.
Spend more time helping the people you manage, not just the projects you manage.
Support employees should they wish to change groups, orgs, or self-nominate for a new project.
Be more knowledgeable about work outside your silo, as well as new upcoming projects.
It was a straightforward interview with two of the engineering managers. No crazy or technical questions; they were more interested in past experience. Good overall interview with normal STAR questions.
They were not prepared for my interview and were unorganized. They also did not have the same emphasis on love of people as other companies do. They’re more focused on their work.
Was online, though they did not have webcams. Asked 5 questions in the STAR format. There were lots of long pauses between questions. They left time in the end to ask my own questions.
