Pros

The job pays well, but be prepared for it to suck the soul out of you. I learned and grew a lot by working here. I had a lot of autonomy in regards to what tech tools to use and what processes to adopt as a team. I worked on a really interesting customer-facing product that I got to see and use in person, which was satisfying and rewarding.

Cons

The culture is probably the worst. They asked my team to work weekends when we were working on a critical project. Work-life balance was non-existent. On-call can be a nightmare.
