Pros

Good company to start your data center career.

Cons

Most managers in DCO have no technical skill and stayed far too long in their positions. Very political and favoritism is blatant, you can see people getting promoted quickly if they speak the same language or they're the same ethnicity.

Pros

Lots of learning opportunities, and if you can keep up you grow fast. Practically unlimited resources to play around with too (employee AWS account, AI tools, etc). Pay is also good, but no longer among the very best, especially with recent stock performance.

Cons

Culture is heavily team dependent. I've been on teams where I had pretty good work life balance, and I've had to work 70+ hour weeks. 5 day RTO, lots of bureaucracy, and constant pressure to perform or get PIPd. Depending on the team, on call rotations can also be very bad.
