Great Tech, Some Attrition
- Interesting Distributed Systems work.
- All the AWS tech you want to use without worrying about the cost.
- Fun coworkers, but that varies from team to team.
- No politics.

- On-call can suck (also varies from team to team).
- Steady attrition in some orgs; some teams never hit their necessary headcount despite recruiting.
- Getting more bureaucratic every year.
