Meta

• Free food
• Fun people
• "Don't ask for permission, just go do it" culture
• The code I write goes into production in a matter of days
• A vast distribution of incredibly interesting problems to work on (often hard to choose from)
• Management knows they can't really shove anything onto anyone. If they want to see something get done a different way, it's up to them to persuade, not to force (I've worked in 3 completely different groups in the company, and this was a consistent theme)

Each engineer has tons of responsibility. This can honestly be stressful sometimes, as you're on point for keeping it all running.

I live in the city and, while the commuter shuttles (with Wi-Fi) make commuting about as bearable as it possibly can be, it's still less than ideal to have about an hour between work and home.
