Pros

Own Office

Good benefits: Medicare for family, paid parental leave, etc.

Smart people to work with

Recent pay raise

Flexible working hours

Cons

Too much emphasis on visibility, which may neglect people doing solid work.

Stock is not moving anywhere for 10 years?

I see solid people forced to get a low rating due to a strict curve.

Advice to Management

Take actions quickly to compete. Recognize and retain solid engineers, even if they did not talk about their achievements all the time.
