Great work-life balance, subpar engineering standards. Hoping to change that. 😜

Pros

Flexible hours, great work-life balance, scalable systems, and a great customer base.

Cons

Engineering standards could be higher and are lacking compared to other large cloud providers.

Executive leadership often prioritizes engineering choices that “seem” most profitable short term over doing what’s right long term.

Advice to Management

Buy into the idea that doing what's right in engineering now is an investment that will pay off in the long run.

Your P&L may take a hit at times this year, but it will often pay dividends for decades.
