Well-balanced place
Well-balanced place
Enough smart people to learn from. Lots of interesting projects to choose from. Decent work-life balance and flexible schedule. Good for building a career in the long term.
Some (but not all) managers have poor technical expertise. Most managers never code and never look at code.
Lots of politics and shady agreements between managers surface up later in surprising ways.
Many projects move relatively slow, with some exceptions.
Some people move from team to team, leaving subpar quality behind them.
Managers should become more technically competent.
