Pros

Fully remote. Bottom-up and engineering-lead initiatives encouraged. Blameless culture. Few unproductive meetings. Overtime not expected at senior level and below. Surprisingly strong engineering. Fun problems.

Cons

Could use more high-level, cross-product engineering ownership. Jump desks could be better maintained for times I'd like to go into the office. Some money-saving tooling decisions are questionable.

Pros

The travel benefits are excellent, and the job offers opportunities to meet people from all over the world. My coworkers were supportive, teamwork was strong, and no two days were ever the same. The role helped me build confidence, improve customer service skills, and learn how to stay calm under pressure.

Cons

The schedule can be unpredictable, with long duty days, early mornings, late nights, weekends, and holidays away from family. The job can also be physically demanding, and dealing with difficult passengers can be stressful.
