Pros
  • Great learning opportunities.
  • Great pay.
  • Get lots of ownership, so great stories for the resume.
  • Work at large scale, so you find a lot of niche problems and how to build for many people.
  • Really smart colleagues.
  • Very collaborative culture.
  • Good management, and senior engineers are all very good.
Cons
  • High stress and expectations.
  • On-call means that you can be woken up in the middle of the night.
  • Diversity in general, especially gender. This is common across the org, not just Brisbane.
  • Not many benefits compared to other similar companies besides pay.
Advice to Management

Management is generally pretty good, though not many initiatives on building teams. It's very work-driven.
