Flexible schedule, you can work when you want to work. New projects can test your large-scale design skills and help you develop a variety of skills and responsibilities. Role for every type of personality on most teams - you aren't forced to be outward-facing if you don't want to be, and vice versa.

You need to have a good relationship with your manager to be happy.

On-call work is plodding and unrelenting.

Yearly team review is a joke. Culture and values only matter as much as your team leads want them to.

Sometimes team performance in the short term is prioritized over employee satisfaction, which can lead to high turnover in the future.
