      Good work-life balance but management lacks authority

      Staff engineer ii

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Really good work-life balance. Smart people. Interesting projects.

      Cons

      Management has MUCH less power than in the private company due to regulation. This is good for the stability of employees and at the same time bad for the culture as bad employees can underperform and make other pickup the slack with almost no consequence.
