Great exposure but inconsistent team culture and promotion clarity

Pros

Good exposure to enterprise-scale distributed systems, not toy projects.

Team culture has been solid, for me specifically.

Cons

Culture is very team-dependent. Mine's been good, but it's clearly a lottery company-wide.

It is hard to tell if bigger scope actually translates to a promotion here, or just more unpaid responsibility.
