Pros
  • Good challenging problems to solve.
  • Easy access to senior talent if you are in Seattle HQ.
Cons
  • Bad if you get into a team with legacy systems.
  • Higher expectations, work-life balance is not great in all teams, and weekends on-call is not a great thing.
  • Offshore teams do not have senior talent.
  • Lot of politics at a higher level (depends on the team too).
  • Promotions need you to be hardworking and lucky both.
