Great benefits. Nice coworkers; and an exceptional Executive Team.
Engineering SDLC is worse than most companies. Managers are too much into metrics and shipping fast, and this promotes bad behavior, and they often lose sight of the bigger picture and push employees to deploy low quality code. Deployment is a mess, and there's no parity between environments if you are lucky to have a development or staging environment at all. It's ironic that a company with a dedicated devops team can't have a consistent devops story.
It's great to be data-driven but be aware of ways teams game the system with false positives.
