Vantaggi
Some of the smartest engineers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Very mature development process. Had unlimited access to agentic tools, albeit short lived.
Svantaggi
Mature development process means that following the process is more important then the actual output and content. Other engineers will actively sabotage your work to make their own jobs more secure, so you have to document all conversations to use in manager meetings later on.
The biggest problem isn't really with Engineering, it is with the upper management. They don't know what the future looks like, and can't agree on a vision, so teams are constantly shuffled around and projects are sunset without a clear reason as to why that is the case. In-fighting on a Director / Exec level is obvious to the lower level employees who are just waiting for the inevitable HR conversation that another "restructuring" has occurred and they are without a job.
Pay is sub-par. Benefits are not great, since they give you a lot of "stuff", but none of it is necessarily good.
