Pros

Work in teams is excellent. Good life/work balance. Remote work is well understood. Interesting work.

Cons
  • work is often segmented across teams
  • much of the actual decision process is no longer in the US
  • focus to drive the market is lacking
  • old products linger
Advice to Management

Plenty of good talent is lost simply because there is a constant level of uncertainty where the company will be in the next two years. Projects are invested in for a while, then discontinued without any indication a problem existed, and entire teams are discarded rather than reassigned.

This generates a level of uncertainty that drives good workers to seek new, more stable, opportunities.
