8 months as a Jr. Software Engineer
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
September 9, 2025
Pros: The scale is massive, and there's always room to make an impact. There's always new stuff to learn, and my team is great. PR reviews are very thorough, in a way that always pushes you to become a better developer.
Cons: Timezone differences tend to make my PR reviews take longer, as a lot of times the reviewers will already be offline by the time I open the PR. This makes me pick more work in parallel, and sometimes I find myself struggling with focus because I have many contexts to switch to.
