A school of engineering with high standards
An environment that fosters knowledge sharing and citizenship. Engineering excellence. Smart and talented colleagues. Plenty of opportunities to go beyond your area and role. Perks and benefits are definitely a BIG plus. Managers that get out of the way, give you space to shine, grow, expand, and know enough about Eng to support Eng teams and guide them properly. Disruptive company: you really feel you are working on something important that will have a positive impact in the world.
Overhead discussing timelines and getting updates of projects very frequently due to lack of visibility, agile habits, and process. This is mainly due to fast growth.
Long working hours. I imagine this can be a problem for some people. Ensure you set your own boundaries. There's plenty to do; time is a very scarce resource :)
Give more autonomy to teams. Rely on people who can set the right tools and processes (habits) to remove inefficiencies while empowering teams to make decisions not only in the how, but also in the what.
It's possible to do it while guaranteeing alignment. It's worth finding the sweet spot in the long run.
