Not for the faint of heart
Not for the faint of heart
Interesting projects (mostly)
Many career opportunities
Strong peer engineers
Too competitive. Too much bureaucracy. No room for mistakes or bugs - favor the conservative over the innovative. Work-Life balance!
The PM vs. engineers ratio is ridiculous. Lay off 50% of PMs and let the engineers do their work.
