Good place for a college grad, but NOT for the faint of heart.

Pros

The constant changes will always keep you on your toes; you cannot be bored. Technically, it is a very challenging place for engineers (especially college grads) to keep up with the fast pace and learning curve. This is not a place for slackers, for sure.

There is lots of lateral career movement you can take if you are tired of being in a certain position. I have seen software engineers become project managers or product managers. This is very much encouraged by management.

Cons

It can be stressful at times when you have to deal with production site issues while working with your current projects. Everything can be very compressed.

Advice to Management

None.
