Pros

An organized company with a lot to offer, cutting-edge technology, and tons of opportunity.

Cons

Reviews are cut-throat due to the sheer amount of engineers that are there.

Work-life balance is very team-/manager-dependent.

Teams compete for work and will always try to outshine others.

Endless amounts of red-tape.

Advice to Management

Not having a certain bar for reviews is a slippery slope. Engineers can never do enough since they have no standard to set when it comes to reviews or goals. This will eventually lead to burnout and turnover. Reviews are very stressful, and the process is very vague.
