Not an engineering company anymore
Not an engineering company anymore
Good job security for top performers, generally good compensation, and exposure to lots of technologies.
Bureaucracy, global teams make it hard to communicate and work quickly, tons of meetings, lots of interlocking with many other products, lack of engineering freedom, scope creep.
Invest in good engineers and let them drive ideas from the bottom up. Invest in quality by staffing projects better and allowing time, instead of paying the cost of quality after delivery. Buy vs. build has negative long-term implications on brand quality and recognition, even if short-term gains are noticeable due to decreased risk.
