Pros
  • Very team-dependent; good WLB when you’re not on call.
Cons
  • Management will put on a show and PIP you for “influence” and “communication” even though you’re already doing your best.
  • Medical issue? You’ll be PIPed the next review cycle, no matter what your medical issue is. No compassion or empathy.
  • On-call shifts, long hours troubleshooting with no reward. Never got promoted in the time I was there and barely got any raises every year.
Advice to Management

Don’t PIP your employees with the current system. It’s toxic and wrong.
