Pros: Good Tech. Good Tech. Good Tech.

Cons: None. None None None None

Pros: Management really values engineers’ time and supports them when they want to pay down technical debt or focus on scalability. Small team structures, like at Amazon, emphasize ownership and teach many skills hands-on—writing the code, deploying, and ops management. (There is on-call for some software engineers, which may be a con for you). Very seriously takes some of the principles of agile/modern software development, such as committing to and checking-in on betterment from retrospectives, and using “we” phrasing when referring to outages and incidents. "Be Humble" is a corporate value, and it is lived out pretty well.

Cons: Interviews take up a lot of time, 1-2 hours a day really add up. Not so good at distributing tasks, such that senior engineers aren’t overloaded.

Pros: Twilio Segment has recently been the most volatile team, with the Infra team being the most unfocused at work. The US-based leadership has no clear direction of work and allows folks to take up fancy projects with no value-add to the actual platform.

Cons: Lack of clear vision. Constantly changing leadership. Clearly evident white supremacy by leaders.
