Pros

- Absurd pay - Fast-paced and high-impact work - Coworkers are incredibly bright and eager to mentor the new guys - Management (at least for me) was incredibly supportive - Clear career growth path - Was remote while I was there, is transitioning to hybrid - Resume booster

Cons

- Boring operational work load was pretty high - Worst benefits in the industry; horrible 401k match that doesn't vest until you reach 3 years at the company - Monthly on-call - Upper management (L8+) changed deadlines a lot - Not a lot of diversity at all, 95% of my coworkers were south asian, - Robotic culture pushed by upper management (Leadership principles are cringe)
