Pros: - I am invited only to meetings I need to participate in. - No timesheets. - Customized release pipeline and DevOps team ready to jump in with help. - Protect your weekends' attitude. I've heard this several times from different people. - Absolute trust, no microcontrol.

Cons: To get a promotion, one needs to be extremely proactive.

Pros: Good compensation. Remote work. Smart people (depends on the team/department).

Cons: HR processes are not transparent at all. The bureaucracy that was recently introduced is inefficient (random salary benchmarks, relocation is a pain). Performance review is absolutely subjective. The only way to get promoted is to connect to your LM. Nepotism over professionalism. Retail department is hell. Chaotic approach. Big tech debt, but management wants to keep expanding. As the result, even trivial change takes forever. Mono-repository, good luck with waiting hours to run some tests. High people turnover in the last 2 years. I saw lots of people leave because either they got bored, or they couldn't negotiate salary/relocation. As the result, there are many places with code that is not owned by anyone, that is hard to maintain. In-house solution that doesn't work (ES). Depending on the team - long hours. You have to protect yourself from it, otherwise, there would be many people who would want to use you without additional pay. KPIs between teams/departments are not synchronized. Sometimes they even work against each other. Teams are gathered from different locations. On the one hand, this may be a good opportunity for you to join any team, but on the other hand, there is no way when you can choose a team that is based in a certain location. Therefore, you cannot be in the same time zone and meet with your teammates in the office.

Pros: High salary Remote work Nice and smart colleagues

Cons: Boring tasks (it depends on the team) Big monolith Inadequate management expectations
