Some great colleagues, but micromanaging

Pros

Benefits, food, some really good people.

Cons

Some people with big egos, some teams without much diversity.

Biggest con was micromanaging over the number of lines of code produced. Performance reviews were a joke. Showing up as "your authentic self" was BS. As other reviewers have mentioned, if you have any passions or hobbies outside of business concerns, it can be met with harsh judgment. It can be difficult to move into interesting projects or other teams.

Advice to Management

The plot got lost in the relentless quest for efficiency and perfect architecture. It was a terrible job of evaluating people's actual skills and placing them in teams they would thrive in.
