Pros

A lot of exposure to different technologies. Very dynamic problem-solving. Everything is your job all the time, offering lots of opportunities.

Cons

Can be very chaotic.

Need to be assertive to maintain work-life balance.

Everything is your job all the time.

Terrible holidays.

Basically no perks at all, like laughably so.

Advice to Management

Listen to employees. When there are DEI reviews, it should be on management to handle action items, not another job for engineers.

Pay for Microsoft licenses so we are not stuck using poorly made in-house solutions. There is no need to reinvent every. single. wheel.
