Cons
The company benefits and perks come at a price. The grind is real and is celebrated by execs. Be prepared to put in long hours, especially as major events like Config approach. Burnout is a common occurrence due to the intense workload. It's challenging to maintain a work-life balance and truly disconnect, as the company's ambitious nature demands constant focus on launching new features, updates, and hosting events at a rapid pace. These relentless working conditions are unsustainable in the long run. Compounding the issue, opportunities for career growth and upward mobility are limited, leaving employees feeling stagnant and facing a career plateau. You need to be extra proactive in advocating for yourself or else you'll just be swept away in the grind.
