Pros
  • Good pay
  • Good benefits
  • Nice office
  • Flexible regarding working from home and time-off
  • Access to a lot of resources and opportunities to learn new technologies and skills
  • Great work culture if you end up on the right team
  • The work is challenging and relevant
  • Plentiful career opportunities, and in my experience, managers were very supportive when team members wanted to change work assignments to try something new
Cons
  • Work culture can vary significantly between teams, sometimes for the worse.
  • It often feels like upper management makes decisions based strictly on their bottom line rather than what is best for their teams.
  • As a developer, you will likely have on-call duties, which are never fun.
  • You may get laid off.
