Pros
  • Working with smart people.
  • Fun events on campus.
  • Capable hardware.
  • Own office.
Cons
  • Luck of the draw with managers. I unfortunately have an inexperienced manager who changes expectations of me on a weekly basis. Some expectations are way off the mark, more in line with one who has been at the company for several years.
  • Lots of internal tools with no documentation.
  • No formal training to get up to speed. Expected to just learn things on the fly. This would be fine if things were documented better. Onboarding process varies with teams.
Advice to Management

Train new managers better and mandate improved onboarding processes and documentation among teams.
