Pros

Pretty good pay. Great if you came in more recently.

Good WLB if you find the right team, meaning one that doesn't follow all the Amazon BS.

Cons

Pay isn't scaled with the industry.

Unpaid on-call shifts. You're a cog.

Advice to Management

Pay more, and cut the on-call and replace with SREs.

Drop frugality; it leads to insane turnover if you care about it.
