Pros

I had the opportunity to contribute to large-scale systems and improve system reliability and performance. The company encourages innovation and technical discussions. Leadership is approachable, and career growth depends largely on individual initiative.

There were learning opportunities, good peer support, and exposure to real-world production systems. There was ownership of features, a good tech stack, and a collaborative environment.

Cons

Promotion cycles can be slow. There are tight deadlines at times, and work-life balance can vary depending on releases. There are occasional long working hours.
