Collaborative culture but limited engineering opportunities

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people. Everyone was collaborative. Not the cut throat stories I had heard - it is a large org though, so each experience is different.

Cons

Too many internal tools. If you like to just write SQL, then this is a good role. If you like to do any actual engineering, then its not.
