Excellent Early Career Resume Builder
You get to work on bleeding-edge designs with some very intelligent people. You get the chance to prove that you can hang with the best. Your experience will be dependent heavily on how your direct manager operates. I was lucky and had a great manager, but this is not always the case.
Extremely high turnover, especially at the senior managerial level. Zero work-life balance. Very political promotion process. Unfair allocation of titles.
To reward those who are high performers. If excellence is not rewarded, mediocrity will become the norm. The culture does not develop a sustainable lineage of high-performing engineers.
