Pros

- Lots of ownership opportunities since the team (in FinTech) was only 3-4 months old when I joined (late 2018) - Got to design and implement major features/projects E2E - Good WLB, but this was because of the department/team being FinTech and only facing internal customers

Cons

- Lack of strong mentorship in the team/department - was basically figuring things out myself after 6+ months and setting standards

Pros

- Stable in that you know the company is always growing - Met very smart people

Cons

- Layoffs hit morale really badly and the way they did layoffs really made it seem like upper management did not care - Oncall is rough
