Good benefits. Competition over acknowledgment was noticeable, in my opinion

Pros

Good benefits, health care, and work-life balance.

Cons

Cross-group communication could improve, and cross-team communication as well.

Sometimes, it felt like employees competed against each other for acknowledgment ("my features, my presentation, my impact..."), rather than as a group with a shared goal.

Considerable aspects of the product were not documented. In my opinion, documentation was generally lacking.
