For me personally on my team (this might apply to others):

• Insanely good manager; he purposely wants us to improve our skills for our future.
• Manager will be the face of problems that you make.
• Everyone on my team is extremely nice, talented, and fit together well.
• Occasional events with the team
• Relaxed work schedules ("9-5" but flexible)

I'm curious if other reviews end up with bad teams.

Learning all the tech, software, terminology, and products is overwhelming initially. The core software which creates nearly all products is an insanely huge codebase. This huge codebase is annoying to develop in due to its size, slowness, and the VM that's required. Software is experiencing growing pains (see last two points). The company has grown very fast and still looks to add thousands of employees in the next few years. Some teams aren't as friendly. Some teams are overwhelmed (DevOps seems to need a lot more people). Lunch is sometimes meh.

Keep promoting the strengths of individuals. Hire non-traditional CS backgrounds; it creates a good culture.
