Pros

Smart people. Great compensation. Opportunities are boundless. Benefits are unparalleled. You can accomplish great things here. I trust the company way more working for them and knowing their official privacy and security policies than I ever would as an outsider.

Cons

They think C++ is a good language, smh.

Even here, developers still don't know what OOD is.

Constant barrage of faux "woke" SJW smarmy corporate narrative.

I've yet to see a post-mortem that actually got business and engineering management to change their broken ways.

Advice to Management

This used to be a company driven by engineers, and that is slowly going by the wayside. Stop letting engineering management be the ones driving OKRs.
