Pros: - Really enjoy working with co-workers.
- Engineering problems are at a scale and complexity that is very interesting.
- A good size where an individual contributor can still make material impacts on the business, and scale is a material consideration.
- The fast pace to keep the business growing at ~40% / year means lots of opportunities for growth.
- Great compensation and benefits.
Cons: - Engineering calls while Sydney office is online can stretch the workday to late hours.
- The fast-paced environment can be uncomfortable for some and is not for everyone.
- On-call rotations lead to deeper service mastery, but there are occasional wake-up pages.
- Management can make big pivots with poor initial explanations.
