Pros

Complete end-to-end ownership: You’ll touch every part of the stack, acting as Developer, QA, DevOps, and PM all in one.

Cons

Expect a heavy workload and frequent on-call shifts that aren't reflected in the pay, which lags behind big tech competitors. The path to promotion is also frustratingly political; without strong 'buy-in' from your specific manager, moving up the ladder is an uphill battle.

Not enough Leadership Principles. We need more!!!
