Bread and Circuses
A good first job. Mentorship is strong to get new engineers up to speed. Friendly and smart co-workers. Benefits are nice. An initial rotation between teams to find the best match is fun. Plenty of nice little perks, and a fun office. If that's all you want, you'll find it there.
Focus on first-jobbers means nobody around can see or fix the problems. High turnover: careers are limited by existing leadership, and people leave when they want to make a difference and realize they can't. Arbitrary decisions from above remind people of that. Nobody understands our competitors in the company. Leaving the company and seeing the real world is an eye-opener in so many ways.
Get out of the way for better managers to show up and help mature the company.
