Great tech job, though on-call kinda sucks
Great tech job, though on-call kinda sucks
Small teams mean that coworkers are friends, development is fast, and bureaucracy is minimal. Coordination with other teams just means a short walk down the hall or talking over a divider between rooms.
Decent pay and benefits.
Developers must take turns being on call. If you're on call, that means if your team's thing breaks at 3 AM, your pager is going to go off, and you get to go fix it immediately.
The idea is to motivate developers to write more reliable code, I guess.
It is possible to get stuck with a bad team, either people you don't get along with, or a workaholic team that has a bad work-life balance and pushes you too hard.

Neutral. The interviewer asked me 5 to 7 behavior questions. There were so many questions that I didn't have enough projects to cover them all. The interview lasted for one hour. I received the result two weeks later.
