Pros

Overall strong culture, good work/life balance most of the time. There is less process for process' sake than at most other companies I've worked.

Cons

We have a lot more people in tech, and this has watered down the culture substantially.

There's more politicking to get ahead, and some seem to think the only way to get ahead and stay ahead is to keep others down so they can succeed. The idea of being surrounded by stellar colleagues, while somewhat true, is getting to be less and less the case.

The lack of organization in managing resources with such a huge growth spurt in engineering is working against us.

My team drastically increased head count, and somehow we're busier than we ever were before.
