Challenging, but rewarding
Challenging, but rewarding
- Compensation
- Unique problems to solve
- A lot of bright people
- Good work culture
- On-call shifts shared with SWEs
- Food in the office before COVID
- Lots of work, always more than you can handle, and you never know if you've done enough.
- Projects for PEs are often less interesting than for SWEs (but that, of course, depends on what you like).
- Negative brand perception.
- Legally required holiday allowance and nothing more.
