Pros

The codebase is complex, so the job will keep you challenged.

Mentorship is available from lots of industry veterans with a Master's or PhD in their field of engineering.

Fun company swag arrives every now and then.

Enjoy fun year-end parties and team-building events.

Great benefits are offered (they pay for Udemy courses if you are upskilling and for any certifications like AWS Solutions Architect, etc.), and decent work-life balance is provided based on your team and manager (some teams may lack on the WLB side, while some teams have a lot of it).

Cons
  • Some teams are major bottlenecks in getting things done and will slow you down by asking you to get approvals, which can take anywhere between 2 weeks to 2 months sometimes.
Advice to Management

Remove nepotism-based hiring and tech bro culture.

I saw a lot of male leaders hiring "someone they know" instead of hiring based on merit and the most qualified candidate who performed the best in job interviews.
