Fun, intellectual, but turning into a huge company
Intellectual, interesting things to work on, good pay, respectful colleagues, high prestige, decent work-life balance, and managers are technically very strong.
Not all managers know how to manage humans. Search quality is very political. There's a lack of company focus, and the company is turning into a hierarchical one.
Managers should focus more on fairness between leaves in the hierarchy, building bridges between teams, and reducing tensions at the high management (international) level.
