Pros

It's a well-respected company, and a lot of exciting things are happening. I think the company has a good long-term outlook.

Cons

Pager duty (and supporting software 24/7) as an SDE. Having to coerce other teams into helping you with things. Documentation is lacking on pretty much everything, so there is a lot of frustration starting anything new.

Advice to Management

For the most part, I think senior management is doing well and leading the company in a good direction.
