Pros

got to learn new technologies quickly and had the space to grow at my own pace. Work-life balance was reasonable and the culture was overall positive.

Cons

Some processes can feel a bit slow, and cross-team communication isn’t always perfect. Occasionally priorities shift quickly, so you need to stay flexible.

Pros

Not much compared to other companies. Pay is decent but much less compared to other tech companies.

Cons

Not great, very manager dependent. Bad manager and you could end up under a lot of stress
