Pros: Work-life balance, modern tech stack, nice people.

Cons: Politics, managing your own pipeline, and AWS.

Pros: * Latest Technology * Aggressive move to AWS/Cloud

Cons: Brain drain as small business cards grow; technology leaders moving into management. Managers are not given good management training. Culture of competition means nobody wants to share, and it benefits each other to make you look bad. Managers are supposed to mentor you, but it's very much sink or swim. Management quality is wildly variable. Management direction is vague. Advancement is by making yourself visible to higher levels rather than delivering. "Calibrations" is a forced-ranking system where 25% are bad, 50% are good, and 25% are great. Rankings are based on managers advocating for employees. It can get ugly.

Pros: The TDP program is great for different learning experiences due to the multiple roles you're able to experience. You can get a wide variety of hands-on time with different technologies.

Cons: You don't have much control or say in which role you choose initially or during the rotation period; it's all done algorithmically.
