Pros

Exceptional and collaborative team environment: Highly supportive peers and a strong sense of belonging, ensuring you never feel isolated or overlooked.

Learning and multinational exposure: Great exposure to how a major tech multinational operates, allowing you to learn and understand large-scale engineering systems.

Active use of AI tools: Modern environment with daily integration of Generative AI across multiple workflows, beyond just coding and development.

Cons

Growth and workload vary by team: Career advancement opportunities and daily workload can be hit-or-miss depending on the area you land in, sometimes leading to overtime during intense cycles.

Increasing focus on metrics: The company culture has shifted significantly toward strict quantitative tracking and performance metrics, which doesn't always align with genuine engineering value.
