Pros: Pay is great. A lot of people complain about it being peanuts compared to competitors, but it's a lot better than what I had before, especially since they still offer remote positions.
Cons: There are not a lot of opportunities to know people outside of work. Also, it can be chaotic at times if you’re in Azure.
