Pros

Money in OCI org is top of the industry. Unlimited PTO is awesome if you have a manager who allows it.

Cons

Horrible leadership—it’s a fear-driven culture.

DevOps tooling is awful and will waste hundreds of hours of your time and make you hate your job.

Ops load is insane. Context switching is constant.

Tons of college grads to babysit. The CAPA program for outages is punitive and unproductive.

Advice to Management

Invest in better tools to keep good engineers from leaving.

Quit switching our goals/projects so often.

Treat operational failure as seriously as outages — they waste just as much money.
