They pay really well, and they have well-defined career growth. The performance review systems are great for motivating people and providing actionable feedback. You can do big things. Even if you are on a small team, you can literally reach out to anyone in the company to make or call out problems. The caveat is that your local team's leadership is incentivized to hammer down your concerns and then raise those concerns themselves. Ignore your leadership, and focus on doing the right thing, and you will have a grand time.

This company does not know how to ship a large piece of software and wants immediate results (two to three months to demonstrate something promising, with an expectation that by another two to three months it will ship). If this does not happen, they will push your team to develop something different or radically change the thing you are trying to make.

When developing big software, please stop trying to change it to chase a trend. Big software takes a long time and will not be able to ship in time to meet fast trends. Big software should be for long-term plans.
