Pros

Good pay and equity opportunities, but working on cutting-edge technology is very rewarding in itself. Not many companies are consistently "visionary," but this seems to be one. Not really any "lifers" taking up space waiting to retire; everyone is engaged, and people mostly smile and say "hi" to each other in the halls. Be confident and have thick skin because if your idea or result is poor, it will be called out. Note that this is a "pro."

Cons

Lots of work to do. The pace is energetic, and things can feel chaotic. It's amazing how a company with >10K employees can still feel like a startup sometimes, with crude or non-existent processes. Tremendous growth means we're short on cubes, and the cafe is crowded. I can't wait for the new building to open.

Advice to Management

You are erring on the side of too little structure, which is the right thing to do, but maybe move a bit more towards the structured side to avoid frustrating inefficiencies.

nvinfo and the internal IT help system have room for improvement.
