Pros
  • Intellectual freedom in architecture, design, and implementation.
  • Compute resources and associated technologies.
  • Office environment (i.e., no cube-land).
  • Accessibility to world-class research and personnel.
  • Prestige.
Cons
  • Mature environment (i.e., gray ceiling), growth requires extra effort.
  • Some areas are not focused on modern tools or enforcing best practices in SW engineering.
  • Very poorly implemented bonus program.
Advice to Management
  • Please communicate more with employees on group strategy and direction. It's best for technical teams to know where they're going for technical and company buy-in.
  • Bonus structure and salary are one of the primary causes for losing key talent.
