Pros

I worked in a database-related apartment. Uses c++ and worked on database internals which implies skills in memory management, concurrent programming, and database fundamentals. Overall I'm learning at my spare time if not working. Weekly working hours are around 50 hr, peek can be 70 during critical releases which is normal when you are responsible for a project end to end. Managers are great, colleague are nice, and everyone is busy. Workload and pace is fast here like a startup.

Cons

The CI-CD process is not good, Dev experience is bad because of that. Not friendly to people who want to keep a good work-life balance. Learning on your own, don't expect people to babysit or help you hands-on. No green card sponsorship in 2023 and 2024
