Performance-based evaluation; nothing else is in your way
Engineers are treated like a high caste within the company.
Unlimited PTO. Travel to Paris at least once a year typically.

If you can understand how "impact" is measured here, then you can make it through the obscure language used for performance reviews and promotions.
Be more transparent about what you need from your team.
