Pros

If you are there they look after you. Great compensation, Working directly on the customer facing app. Cutting edge tech. Fast paced. Smart people. Good perks.

Cons

Company could pivot and let you go in a heartbeat - literally.

I was made redundant as well as 4-500 others and just locked out of the system.

Whilst I was there I was aware this was not the first time and there had been others, one referred to as the "culling".

Fast paced but often too fast.

Never felt on top, always behind - perhaps that is why I was let go.

But I was working extra, working late, there is so much to learn in just how they do things.

Various apps with their own pipeline.

So much tribal knowledge.

If you are a mind reader you might do well.

Its a rocket ship going to the moon but only the elect on the inside the rest holding on to the outside for dear life.
