Great opportunity, but be wary of the hype
Top-notch engineering. Just being around other skilled engineers and seeing how things are done causes you to become more skilled.
Friendly people.
Lots of small perks.
Inconsistent product direction.
There's a lot of internal joking about the short time between teams being shuffled, and this means it's difficult to see projects through to completion.
Senior leadership seems more focused on cost-cutting than effective long-term vision.
There's lots of talk about respecting each other, but when the chips are down, leadership does not follow through on that.
Instead of putting the burden for 'sharpening focus' on workers, look at why leaders don't give workers enough time to get things done.
