Pros

- Work on products that scale and add value to millions of customers - Collaborate with smart people - Competitive salary - Work in one of the companies shaping what cloud and IT looks like

Cons

- Leadership is US centred and impacting decisions making is top down - Management is struggling with prioritization - Team often working significantly under capacity: new demands come faster than our team can delivery - Your experience and job satisfaction can vary a lot depending on which team you end up in - Shortcuts are often taken to allow adding short term values. Although they are not necessarily workarounds, they can have a side effect in the technical team that is probably accumulating more tech debt and absorbing the impact of this business decisions
