The employees here are the brightest people I have ever met. I learn stuff from them every day.

Also, I get to pick my own projects to some extent, so I feel like I can individually influence the direction of the company, at least in my business area. I always have the resources I need to complete my work. Others are willing to help out when needed, and management makes sure I have the equipment I need.

It can be hard to keep up. Development moves fast and strategies change often. Coming back to work after a week or two of vacation here feels like you've been gone for a year.

Pick a direction and stick to it. The number of prematurely aborted projects is depressing at times. Spend less time organizing "status" meetings to spit buzz-words about increased productivity at the employees and more time communicating the actual strategies down to us.
