Pros

Looks good on a resume; there's always something new to learn.

Cons

Pip (rank and yank) and peer pressure – saw two people leave due to Pip.

Heavy on-call load – on average more than 10 important tickets a week, which could keep you up at night.

Less compensation compared to other big tech companies.
