Pros

- $$$$$ - On some teams, good scope of ownership and growth

Cons

- Bad culture (Manager essentially bullied me into leaving on my last team.) - Little respect for WLB - No reward for oncall that can page you at 2am to fix issues - Often cannot schedule vacation when you want (i.e. Christmas) even if you plan it far in advance because you may be scheduled oncall. Happy Holidays!

Pros

Training is good, some teams are great

Cons

Some teams are bad, tech stack is all proprietary and barely non-transferrable. Bad WLB with unpaid on-call and implied expected long hours.
