My first employer after university was a great experience
Frequent promotions, many smart people to learn from, very good salary and bonus, 401k etc. Opportunities to change role, a huge library and learning opportunities, opportunity to do something great with huge impact, great for CV. Had insurance with 100% cover, 0 deductible.

When you want to build tools for some community, you must try to understand that community, not expect the community to adjust to your tools.
