Pros

Health insurance, access to educational resources, well-established procurement and reimbursement procedures, etc.

Cons

Politics instead of technical conversations, below-market compensation, and available hardware left a lot to be desired. There was no career growth, and constant tolls on engineering activities were associated with OCI. Nearly no senior talent was hired.

Advice to Management

Pay more attention to technical people. I see managers being promoted one by one the whole year long. Individually contributing engineers get way less attention.

Attrition of senior engineering personnel impacts the performance of the org while nearly no replacement is hired.
