Pros

Nice people, good work/life balance, and a lot of new projects using cutting-edge cloud technologies.

The CEOs are the best, building a really open and welcoming culture.

Cons

A lot of poor quality legacy code in product teams. Many people are used to the old, release-driven, slow development cycle and have a hard time keeping up with modern techniques of DevOps, SRE, and "you build it, you run it." Internal infrastructure doesn't get the attention it deserves and is still considered a non-important part of the ecosystem.

Advice to Management

Focus more on the internal ecosystem and infrastructure, and transition towards a real cloud-driven culture.
