Good place to work for... junior devs
Exceptional benefits
If the team is right, you get to work with some of the brightest minds on the planet.
Most full-time employees get an office and privacy.
Lower than average compensation.
Archaic software development methods (fixed planning/development/stabilization schedules).
In-house cafeterias could be better.
The push is towards "coolness" instead of "usability".
Please understand, date-driven development is bad, and it's not mandatory for cross-team coordination.
Innovation is great, but usability is more important. We should polish the product instead of cramming features in.
