Pros: Everyone I worked with was a caring and smart person who wanted to support me. I never felt like the direct management or coworkers were ever against me. We were always a team.
Cons: Legacy tech stack and code still prevalent despite efforts to move away from it. Despite the immediate team and management wanting more change, these changes were outside of our scope. Sometimes it felt like some of the most important things to change were impervious to change.
