Pros

State-of-the-art engineering practices. Highly skilled coworkers willing to share knowledge and techniques for developing software. Good benefits and salary.

Cons

Very high-pressure environment. Recent changes have caused teamwork to be de-emphasized and practices to focus on individual work and achievement.

Advice to Management

Return to an emphasis on working as a team and collaborating to create products.

Return to each person having an office rather than working in a common area.
