Pros: The compensation was pretty good. Also, your coworkers, while not necessarily helpful, are very knowledgeable.

Cons: - Extreme individualism. I once was reporting out our metrics for the week and mentioned a win that I had worked on with a coworker. My boss got angry because "He did most of the work". To be clear, I was not attempting to take credit for the work, just saying that it was a win for the team. This attitude pervades the whole company. - Management and recruiter lies. I was hired onto a specific team, which I joined because I knew someone on it, and on my first day they moved me to a different team. Classic bait and switch. Had I known they would do this, I would have taken the other offer I had at the time. - Direct criticism under the guise of "being helpful". I was personally criticized multiple times both in team meetings and 1:1s with my manager. - Unrealistic deadlines and no work-life balance. Our senior manager said, "you should fail 20% of what you take on in a year". What that really means is that nobody plans well and everyone is stressed because of the amount of work.

Pros: - Money: They are way ahead of most employers regarding pay scale. - A lot of challenges. - You learn a lot about automating all processes. - You will gain a lot of experience regarding distributed systems.

Cons: - Unflexible RTO policy (Full on-site) - Disorganized - Technical debt on most teams is huge, and there is little interest in solving it. - Management is awful. - All people compete to get promoted, and some decisions are made just for their sole interest of promotion, not for the customer.
