  • Strong feedback in code reviews
  • Flexible work location
  • Convenient services provided (shuttles, food, laundry, gym, etc.)
Cons
  • Terrible work-life balance.
  • Myopic semiannual performance reviews (straight-up Hunger Games).
  • No vision or direction for products.
  • Competitive and poorly adjusted coworkers (the average engineer is very strange).
Advice to Management

Don't allow people with very limited work experience to become managers. All of my managers were terrible, had extremely limited vision, and could not keep the team cohesive and motivated.
