Pros

Some very smart people and good benefits. All the free food and subsidized massages are good.

Cons

The Test Engineering org. is separate from the core engineering org., making it very difficult for the test engineers to make any real impact. Most of the time, the test engineering efforts go unrecognized by the executive management team. The Test Engineering organization is filled with a bunch of very incompetent managers who are solely focused on advancing their own careers.

Advice to Management

Merge the test engineering organization with core engineering and scrutinize the hiring and promotion of managers and directors within test engineering.
