Pros
  • Super interesting work on the backend, with lots of learning.
  • Excellent technical managers.
  • Knowledge sharing is engrained in the culture.
  • Lots of empowerment, and managers progressively increase scope and responsibility to help everyone stretch themselves to their limits.
  • The company started adopting best practices across the backend in terms of focus on reliability and maintainability. Incidents are tracked and reviewed, and action is taken to fix root causes instead of just applying band-aid solutions (at least on my team).
Cons
  • Inconsistency between teams in terms of adhering to best practices; more governance and standards are needed.
  • Lots of changes in priorities.
Advice to Management
  • More consistency across the company in terms of engineering standards and expectations.
  • More clarity in strategic direction.
