Good Pay, Slow Impact
Good Pay, Slow Impact
There are many opportunities to move around within the company, and you are encouraged to move around if you are unhappy.

It's a very corporate culture. To make a real impact on a product's vision, you have to wade through multiple levels of middle management first.
Cut out some levels of middle management. I know we're a huge company that ships lots of products, but the management structure makes it hard to have a real impact outside of your tiny feature area.
