Pros

Very good company culture. The new office is great. People are very friendly, and it's a great place to work at.

Free breakfast, free lunch, free dinner, and lots of other perks.

Cons

Approval processes are very lengthy, and changes—if not ordered by executives—usually take a lot of time and effort. Also, there are too many meetings, wasting valuable time of engineers.

Advice to Management

Leave more decisions up to the engineers; let them come up with ideas. And hire more mid-level, senior engineers.
