Free-for-all politics, not company goals make you successful
Pros: There are some smart people. You can find teams to work comfortable 35 hour weeks and still get paid well.
Cons: Product/company success is secondary. Everyone ambitious is out for themselves. Since review is curved, you need to come out ahead of your peers first and foremost. Managers would actually mentor me in those terms -- toxic environment!
