Pros

The location that I work at gives decent benefits and compensation compared to the local market.

Cons

Processes are often slow, and engineering systems have issues. There was also more managerial pressure and overtime than expected. I also expected better documentation and processes from a tech giant, but I found that this is very lacking and that work feels quite disorganized.

Advice to Management

Be upfront and clear about what you want, and try not to stretch your people too thin.
