Excellent Place to Grow
Excellent Place to Grow
- Growth was great. Promo cycles every 1-2 years and very hands-off.
- Worked on great, interesting new software (love C#).
- Most Ops/DevOps work was done by a centralized team, so I could concentrate on delivery of projects and not CI/CD work. Basically no on-call work.
- Very smart engineers to work with there.
- 9-5 WLB was incredible.
- Pay was still excellent compared to startups, and stock was growing a lot, but still not as high pay as other FAANG companies.
- Honestly, that's about it. Loved it there.
I mean, if you look at my pros and cons, you'll see that the only reason I left was lower pay.
