Pros

Great working experience if you are in a good team, you get to build technology that makes real impact and scales. You learn how to design software architecture that powers millions of daily users and transactions.

Compensation is one of the best in the country. Fully remote, so you don't have to worry about the hassle of daily commute. If you like solving problems, there is always a problem to solve.

Cons

Ever-changing working environment. In an attempt to optimise engineering efficiency and growth, you may be subject to multiple organisation-wide restructuring exercises. Urgency is needed, but there is significant pushback due to the bureaucracy of requests and approvals. This frustrates the development process and slows things down a lot.

You're a cog in the wheel, so don't get overconfident when things seem stable. Inasmuch as they are trying to put systems in place to make teams work as a unit, being the "hero" will never stop being important. Give those extra hours, late evenings, and early mornings; they are what make you valuable.

Advice to Management

In some cycles, consider having only horizontal reviews; let peers who work together review their collaborations. This could even be cross-team collaboration, like SRE-Eng, Cloud-Eng, or Cloud-SRE.
