Pros

Work with the brightest engineers out there.

Pay is comparable, if not better, to most companies in the area.

Cons

We need to deal with the oversize bureaucracy to get anything done.

There's a strong division between PM, dev, and test disciplines, resulting in uneven growth to be better engineers.

Advice to Management

Need to focus on growing engineers and reduce discipline division.
