RecommendsApproves of CEO
Pros

Excellent benefits, good place to learn new technologies.

Cons

Poor work-life balance, very slow career growth, and some managers can be slave drivers.

Advice to Management

Ranking everyone on a bell curve in annual performance reviews leads to a lot of unnecessary competition and ill-will within the CDO engineering teams, and can be counterproductive. Fellow engineers don't trust each other.
