Work-life balance Better benefits 401(k) match
Job performance/skillset is not relevant. Engineers treated as house servants. Get attacked if you don't attack others (jungle culture). Finger-pointing/self-promotion the normal way of life. No risk-taking in management/project decisions. Too many non-technical mid-level management layers. Cheap treatments to employees financially. No career path or education/training opportunities.
Good for certain groups of people, especially from certain areas of the Earth. Not a good place to work for the rest of us. But if you can live with it, you get the 401K match and good benefits.
