Pros

Loved my team, loved the environment that encouraged learning. Good compensation and lots of little perks like random days off.

Cons

More kickoffs than the NFL. Every quarter we had probably a minimum of 4-5 corporate kickoff meetings. Culture of promotion-driven development means if you're a cog, you get to remain a cog, deal with the growing technical debt, and keep the lights on, unless you come up with a flashy proof of concept for yet another in-house tool that someone else will have to maintain alongside a pile of similar tools. If you want to advance your career, your best bet, other than to leave, is to apply to another team within the company.

Pros

Good benefits, time offs Things were better for QEs before Covid

Cons

Yearly lay offs. Depending on your Org and skill set, experience might vary. Had a pretty bad experience and that could totally be the team I worked.
