Great team but difficult work

Pros

- Everyone is incredibly talented and helpful, if you have a question, there's always someone who jumps in to help with no judgement - Work is impactful, you get to see your contributions actually make a difference - Management is very competent and respectful, they give great feedback and reward high performers accordingly - Compensation is very good

Cons

- Oncall shifts can get incredibly hectic, engineers are usually put on 3 different rotations and the context switching causes lots of disruptions on normal projects - As a side effect of the complexity of the product, processes are often difficult and changes frequently. It can be quite challenging to implement even simple changes because of process overhead
