Narrow focus, but on an interesting scale
Narrow focus, but on an interesting scale
Colleagues are consistently capable and dedicated. Perks are of course good. Reasonably open culture. Excellent tools. Senior-level management appears to genuinely care about the company.
It's a large company, so you can expect to work on a relatively narrow problem. While office politics isn't bad, it does occasionally frustrate, with projects getting moved around without consultation of rank-and-file employees.
Keep your focus on being a force for good. But don't stray too far from the core mission. Keep talking with your employees!
