Great place to improve
- You can learn a lot.
- You can work on huge projects with lots of users and lots of data (terabytes, petabytes).
- You can use AWS almost limitlessly. Other companies usually worry about costs. Here, I'm working on a team with an annual AWS cost around ~$1M. You can experiment a lot with that kind of budget.
- No overtime, no problem taking days off and PTO.
- Large turnover in the teams. After 1.5 years, I am the only one left from the team that I joined, which had 7 developers.
- The leadership principle called "Frugality" affects employees as well. Don't expect huge raises and bonuses unless you are willing to work 150%.
- Internal frameworks, tools: We use lots of internally developed tools and frameworks. You will have to learn a lot, and you won't be able to use that at other companies.
