Pros
Incredible learning curve Supportive leadership: I’ve had managers who genuinely cared about career development. Regular 1:1s and growth conversations helped me move from an individual contributor to a team lead. Quality-focused culture: There’s a strong emphasis on engineering quality, not just QA as a formality. Collaboration with developers, CI/CD pipelines, and ownership of product quality made the work meaningful. Career progression: Internal mobility is real here. I was trusted with responsibilities as I grew, and mentorship played a big role in my journey.
Cons
Work-life balance can suffer during releases or cross-timezone calls: While flexibility exists, late-night or early-morning calls with global teams can be draining, especially during critical releases or escalations.
