Cons

- Sometimes the scrum isn't 100% fully used (due some priorities, I see tasks coming in the planned board and not pointed tasks) - On call duties or unplanned issues can change your preplanned work/life balance - Depending your timezone, some meetings it will go preferred the PST timezone and it will need rearrange your day to keep up the pace on them - Sometimes you need to repeat a communication to different involved teams since they're not sync up your team's work - Different teams might contribute for your project and create unexpected behaviours

Pros

Excellent pay/benefits, Safety first mindset, flexible scheduling, fantastic training program, phenomenal team support, convenient locations. Plenty of pathways for career advancement and full support for self promotion. Culture is fantastic. You really can be yourself and make many new friends fast. Teamwork is outstanding. Everyone is always willing to help.

Cons

Growing so fast that it's hard to keep the same manager. I've had four managers in two months. Constantly have to adapt to new procedures and changes and working locations. Always in a state of flux. Standards keep changing all the time
