Pros

Great Benefits

Pay is decent to above average compared to the market.

Flexible time off and understanding of family commitments have been the norm.

Cons

Matrix management forces you to focus on visibility. You have to be willing to advocate/brag for yourself, but of course base it on facts. Work-life balance can be mixed depending on which department you're at.

Advice to Management

For more junior folks, be willing to invest in them more (training, patience, etc.). It will pay off in higher performance and retention in the long run.
