Pros

Work with the best minds across the world on cutting-edge tech like GenAI. Overall, it's a great place to grow, but your experience will depend on your team and manager, and also the organization in general, like everywhere else.

Cons

Gets political at times. There's always a pressure to deliver. Always keep an eye on your developer KPIs, like:

  • Number of tickets resolved
  • Amount of code contributed
  • Number of code reviews
  • Number of revisions of code reviews (bullshit metric)

And of course, the famous URA.

Advice to Management

Internal promotions should get the same increment as new hires.
