Pros

For context, I was an SE in the Lodging stack. I'm sure it's very different elsewhere. It had the typical "big company" stuff like decent budgets, some nice perks (eg travel stipend), good benefits, not shy about spending money to make money. People were generally nice enough and trying hard, though a fair number were just coasting.

Cons

It's big enough to get lost in. Finding the right person to talk to can take forever. There are 17 different systems for basically anything (deployment, monitoring, auth, you name it). Of those 17 systems, 19 are deprecated and being replaced by the 20th that doesn't actually exist yet but will be SUPER AWESOME when it gets here. Endless projects to rearrange the internal systems to match the org chart.

Pros

Incredible benefits! Quality, affordable medical insurance, 401k, wellness reimbursement, travel reimbursement, plenty of PTO, etc. They have fresh food cooked daily for breakfast and lunch, available for purchase. They also have free food, such as yogurt cups, cheese sticks, and shelf-stable fruits available to all employees. The benefits keep many of us here. I will say, have had two supervisors so far, and they’ve each been great. Very understanding, yet motivating. I haven’t yet met a supervisor who didn’t value their supervisees.

Cons

The main digital platforms we use do not function efficiently, which makes a noticeable impact on our work. On a perfect day, you’ll still spend 8-12 minutes per hour waiting on load screens, but we have experienced days in which the sites were down for about 6 hours within an 8 hour day. I feel that our quarterly goals are not constructed with this in mind. Another major con is—like many places now—job security is an issue. AI is taking over the job of many employees, and while we’re told to embrace it, it’s difficult to do so when you could walk in any day and be told to pack your things.
