Nice place if you don't mind a bit of boredom
Nice place if you don't mind a bit of boredom
Great co-workers, friendly environment, good benefits. Very pleasant on a daily basis.
You're part of a huge machine, with no feeling of control. Products are developed at a glacial pace, and engineers have little to no input. It's extremely hard to get a new idea out the door.
There's a high level of boredom and tedium, because everyone is just expected to keep turning the crank on the same projects over and over.
Give people more freedom to innovate. Remove all the unnecessary overhead and obstacles to getting things done. Remember that employees are shareholders, too.
The much-touted severance package is a joke. People didn't want protection against being laid off; they want a reason to stay.
