Great Company, Better Office

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Wide variety of challenging problems to solve and plenty of work to be done - The compensation is top notch. Even as a college grad SDE you'll probably be paid what a senior engineer is paid at the other large companies in Detroit. If you stay for a few years you'll be treated with much stock. - Office is very friendly and there's plenty of community-building events driven by a great office manager - Yes, you can transfer to Seattle just fine should you want to do that

Cons

- Monthly On call rotations with typically pretty heavy operational load. - Sometimes recently it seems like empire building is the true motivation behind some decisions (though it can always be framed with some LP like Customer Obsession)
