Pros

The work is good but all the other factors make this a toxic place to work

Cons

Micromanaging Inexperienced Leaders Lots on infighting between managers Hire experienced people but some are threatened by knowledge and experience No career path for those who get hired in vs. been there for a long time. Seniority is more important than skills. The time will come when technology improves and GA becomes insignificant

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
