Pros
  • Location, health benefits, and great pay for engineering.
  • Hires decent mid & senior engineers.
Cons
  • Too many cooks in the kitchen while being pulled in every direction, leading to frustration.
  • It takes too long to get things done.
  • Too many meetings causing distraction.
  • Losing top talent due to chaotic, fire-drill-like tasks, with teams like auditing chasing us down for information that's clearly all right there.
Advice to Management

Get rid of the politics. True techies work at tech companies for a reason. Listen to engineers before you start losing the good ones.
