Pros
  • Immediate managers are compassionate and care about your career growth and workload.
  • Work-life balance is better than most places (except for on-call).
  • Great benefits.
  • Huge focus on accessibility and diversity internally and externally.
Cons
  • Technical debt and ageing infrastructure result in a laborious code build & test cycle.
  • On-call can be brutal on low-level cloud teams and heavily damage work-life balance.
  • Lack of automation results in lots of "manual labor".
  • Generally, a little boring.
  • Compensation generally lags behind other big tech companies.
