Pros

Huge opportunities for growth. I have complete agency in what I work on and what skills I focus on developing. Day-to-day is enjoyable and educational.

Cons

Most people are truly fantastic, but there is the occasional (rare) stereotypical over-entitled, overpaid engineer who doesn't know how to keep their petty complaints to themselves. The work environment itself is great, though.

Advice to Management

Keep focus on constantly improving the important parts of culture – opportunities for learning and growth, flexibility to move around the company, etc. – over the unnecessary parts like go-karts and beer.
