Extremely talented and driven co-workers.

Too many projects that go nowhere or aren't pointless. Throw resources at problems that are insignificant or a diversion.

Business Outlook

Pros

A great environment. Lots of cool people. Not very stressful at all. Lots of opportunity for growth and to do other things.

Cons

Might be slow at times. There seems to be a lot of office politics that I didn't focus too much on. Not as much men in the administrative office side.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Unmatched talent: cream of the crop here and lots of people to learn from - Strong tech culture: embraces new technology and is very supportive of the tech side of the business (hack weeks, tech committees) - Generous tuition reimbursement - Vacation and sick time is the best of any place I've been - Good work/life balance

Cons

- Strong talent sometimes translates into big egos: people can be less open to ideas and are adamant about having things their way - Politics between departments made it difficult to do the job - Strong female leadership exists in the company but cannot be seen at the executive level
