Pros

- Great learning opportunities - Great pay - Get lots of ownership so great stories for the resume - Work at large scale so you find alot of niche problems and how to build for many people - Really smart colleagues - Very collaborative culture - Good management and senior engineers are all very good

Cons

- High stress and expectations - On-call means that you can be woken up in the middle of the night - Diversity in general especially gender, this is common across the org not just brisbane - Not many benefits compared to other similar companies besides pay
