Pros

Remote work fully supported.

Decent benefit package.

ESPP plan is a nice perk.

Immense, ever-shifting bureaucracy. Tons of middle management and endless meetings. No clear direction. Zero advancement possible in engineering.

Advice to Management

Pay market rates or offer some sort of career track for your engineers, or continue to lose them to attrition.
