Remote work is possible, offering an international atmosphere with many development opportunities. You'll have the ability to pick technologies of your choice to work with, and then propose proof of concept for approval (a bottom-top driven flow). You'll find friendly, skilled, and very cooperative colleagues from whom you can learn a lot. There are frequent travel opportunities, even to distant places, and many trainings, conferences, and events.

The above pros highly depend on the team you join. It could be a totally opposite experience as well.

Besides that, you can find time-consuming processes, sometimes a lack of cooperation between teams or blockers, and a lack of understanding at the senior management level. Too frequent employee goals/performance evaluation processes (every 3 months). Work-life balance could be better.

Stop doing politics; listen more to the engineers. Support talented people that you have on board and do not let them quit that easily.
