Hard work, but a great learning experience
A great opportunity to work with talented, friendly folks tackling some very big problems of scale.
Not many jobs present you with so many opportunities to invent and fix things.
Working with a mature toolset in a stimulating environment presents a great platform from which to learn and grow.
It's all too easy to slip into overwork. With all of the challenges around you, if you really take ownership, you may find yourself with an endless list of things to get through in a day.
It can be hard to stay focused, and the operational burden of some teams can be huge.
Being on-call is no joke.
Promotions come slowly, and if you get leveled incorrectly when you start, it can be a long road. Finding and encouraging your best talent could reduce churn and help retain valuable staff.
