Great specialists, some unique technologies to work with, like YT. Nice perks and office.

See advice to Management.

There are some projects that compete with each other and some well-known and popular solutions. This leads to disambiguation on what tools you should use.

Sometimes you just don't know what "the way we do X" is, because there are several ways, each having some support from devtools folks. Nobody knows which support will be dropped in the future and which will not.

The management is sometimes vague. They will focus on optimizing some one metric (KPI-obsessed, yeah) in this half-year, and then drop it and focus on something opposite in the next review period. The tradeoff is not always articulated nicely.
