Flex-time off policy and some smart engineers

Talent isn’t appreciated in this company at all.

It’s a very political place, with a lot of political power given to directors of groups. So if your director is good, you can get better salary, better bonuses, and timely promotions.

If your director isn’t good, good luck getting promoted even to senior engineer (btw, promotion = 10k salary increase, which is way too small).

If you are in a remote site (not in SD, that is), good luck with finding opportunities for career growth within the company. Utterly disgraceful management, with loads of VPs reporting each other, who do nothing valuable for the growth of this company. Upper management doesn’t really care for even basic needs of engineers (like monumental pay increases, creating a work-friendly environment).

The review system is biased, and managers don’t really care about third-party opinions (why even take them if you don’t care about them?).

There are better companies out there. Avoid like the plague.

Value your employees. Typically engineers.

They are the ones who fill your pockets and make you filthy rich.

Pay them well. Assist them in their personality development and career growth (typically at remote sites) and, most importantly, stop making the place a political ground.
