Great company, great mission, great people
Great company, great mission, great people
Work-life balance (you have to hold the line, but it's acceptable).
Great mission. Great culture. Wide range of industries and disciplines you can be a part of. Great leadership.
There are still managers in the system from the old days who wish they were individual contributors and get a bit too hands-on, or who don't really want to (or are bad at) managing people. That makes for a tough work environment. But that's getting better as they've stopped making management part of the standard career path for everyone.
Don't be a manager if you don't want to manage people. The people are more important than you looking good or having that "big impact".
