Pros

Amazing team: My team is made up of a lot of new hires so we are all learning together. People want to help just as much as they want to get ahead. The team looks out for one another and tries to have fun while doing it. Interesting and challenging work: Most of the teams I have come across are very interesting to me. Each has its own challenges and learning curves. Very acceptable hours: If you get your work done, you are not expected to do more. Other than oncall which is quite infrequent, your hours are the same as any other job. Great benefits: For a job that you can be hired for right out of university, the benefits are phenomenal.

Cons

Very team dependent: The only negative is that your entire work experience is dependent on the team you are placed on. While this does rely on luck, most teams I have come across are all very interesting and made up of great people.

Pros

We are an away team in a vertical team. Overall, the wlb is good, oncall load is minimal

Cons

The tech depth is not very good since we are an away team. Usually we are project driven and focus on business code. Hardly have opportunity to build a service from scrath.
