Pros

Good choice of projects. Good salary. Good amount of independence. Lots of opportunities for growing soft skills and learning to see how the bigger picture works.

Way more freedom and transparency than in many other companies. Own your life type of approach to work-life balance.

Cons

I regularly see people (both engineers and managers) leaving the company because they find it easier to get a promotion elsewhere and then return at the new level than to get promoted from within.

Reorgs are frequent and devastating.

Advice to Management

Less reorgs, or more input from the engineers into these reorgs, or more accountability for their consequences. It hurts. It's hard to feel interested in the work you do or valued as a professional if your work gets canceled all the time for inconceivable reasons.
