Pros

There are opportunities to work on cutting edge tech. We offer great benefits. You will be solving interesting problems. The culture has vastly improved in the past year.

Cons

Depending on what team you work with, projects may not be so interesting.

Only a set of teams work on newer things, while many work on older technology, although there are lots of improvements being made to change that.

Advice to Management

More opportunities for engineers to switch teams. I've spoken with several engineers who feel stuck and are bored/uninterested in their work.

Also, there should be more emphasis on bringing in actual subject matter experts to solve our lingering problems. Product managers can only do so much. We need people who have actually solved our problems and are specialists in their discipline.
