Pros

Very friendly people who are willing to help you excel in your career. Having a supporting team made my internship a really good experience here. You get more responsibility as you prove yourself.

Cons

Not as many perks as other companies.

Average salary.

Very bureaucratic structure: everyone has their own cubicle, and there are a lot of phone meetings. A lot of teams have team members that work remotely or in another office, which makes it more difficult to communicate. Also, there is a lot of red tape in the codebase.

Advice to Management

Perhaps enhance the perks and work environment to attract more high-quality engineering talent. Times have changed, and having a cubicle/isolated layout simply isn't efficient anymore.
