Good place to get your foot in the door to big tech, but leave
- Good pay.
- Lots of career opportunities if you seek them, and switching teams is extremely easy if you don't like your current one.
- Lots of problems to solve.
- Overall, it's not a bad place to be, but do ask yourself what you are here for.
- Typical big tech and large company pain points include top-down decision making and lots of processes to push through just to launch something simple.
- Promotions are very difficult, and sometimes it's better to jump externally and come back.
- WLB, teammates, and manager are a crapshoot.
