Pros

Working with some of the newer technologies, people are friendly, and able to maintain a good work-life balance.

Cons

Engineering work is primarily toggling config files and re-platforming. Most work with the aforementioned newer technologies is through glorified, internally built wrappers. It feels very much like you have to enter a drone state and not think about the work you're doing.

Advice to Management

Stop stack ranking. Put more resources into developing platforms into more mature, useful projects.
