Pros

The engineers you work with will always help you when you get stuck. However, the documentation they provide is mostly broken link farms or outdated (older than 6 months here means everything has changed).

Cons

I liked the company until the COVID era, as management became political and disconnected from the ICs they work with. I have had great managers, as well as ones that I felt did not provide enough value for my team.

Advice to Management

We need more ICs and less management. Go back to the era where there were labs and new grads on each team that were trained by ICs, not just teams of managers managing managers to then tell their own managers about what might happen.
