Good pay, bad work life balance

Software development engineer (sde) -1

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation as per industry standards

Cons

1. Lot of toxic teams with high focus on Deliverables and no regards to personal time and employee's health(not worth the pay) 2. After a certain time you will be stuck in using similiar tools to solve that particular bussiness problem as they have a pre defined scale which requires certain suits of tool. Once you learn all of it growth is limited in that team. 3. Always go for team which generate revenue or else you'll be stuck in team which is struggling to get sponsored and justify it's size to leadership. aka only care about things moving fast to prod and no team bonding of employee mental health care or learnings of the org.

Pros

- learn a lot about a variety of technologies very quickly - the bar is high. 95% of people you work with are very capable - good compensation (probably the best you can get in Brisbane as an SDE)

Cons

- they will squeeze you for everything you're worth - very hard to progress within the company for all software levels - success at the company is dictated a lot by the manager you get - RTO (return to office)
