Pros

Good tech stack with most infra details abstracted to pipeline configuration files.

Overbearing amount of swag.

Cons

Forced stack ranking creates a toxic competitive culture.

Excessive re-orgs mean you're constantly trying to impress a new boss and not employed long if you get a bad one.

Advice to Management

Give up on aggressive, forced stack ranking, or stop pretending to care about employees.
