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.
Advice to Management

Give more information when major initiatives are being spun up or down. Sometimes multi-week or month efforts have been pivoted while lacking sufficient rationalization.
