Working with some very talented and passionate people that know a lot about the domain. Lots of autonomy from management to choose how we went to build features. Impactful work and quick feedback. Very metric driven (at least in my team). Modern tech stack and opportunities to develop features at scale leading to interesting and challenging problems to solve. Great environment to learn, especially for junior/mid-level developers. Compensation is good, although not amazing. Opportunities to grow career. Great office environment, including free breakfast/lunch and regular events.
The high-performance culture, combined with many organizational changes, makes focusing on goals and collaborating cross-team very difficult.

Start listening to all your employees and not just senior management. There is too much office politics going on. Focus on revitalizing employee morale.
