Pros
  • Large-scale system exposure
  • Good opportunities to be mentored
  • Well-known brand name for future opportunities
  • On-call skills will help you understand the system
Cons
  • Work can be hierarchical, and you may get very small projects for a long time.
  • You will not be a very well-rounded engineer because of the size of teams/companies.
  • Your manager holds a lot of power and can discriminate against you or retaliate if they have a personal bias. They can make up lies about your deliverables and performance, and there is zero accountability. HR is not helpful.
  • Benefits are not very good.
