Business Outlook

Pros

Slow pace leads to good WLB Some interesting problems to work on

Cons

Poor engineering culture, Poor growth for early career/great people due to minimal raises and delayed promotions. This culture of not rewarding exceptional people with lesser YOE leads to great young people leaving. The company is left with old people, who are incompetent, and don't care about their job.
