Pros

Good benefits and salary, very accommodating with regard to work hours.

Overall, most of the people I worked with were good, intelligent engineers.

Cons

The work itself was boring and unchallenging, with slow processes and development tools.

The company is slow to change, and feedback regarding products and features is usually overlooked.

While some managers are amazing, others are abysmal, to the point of increasing employee churn rate around them. HR and Senior Management do not seem to care regarding this.

Advice to Management

Have a better feedback mechanism from employees and remove bad managers from managerial positions.

Culture is problematic in regard to internal user feedback.
