Pros

I was in an internal product, the work environment was very good. No stress, no push, no late work. Helpful team, having fun time. The company overall in Egypt is providing multiple work locations, premium health insurance, schooling and fitness budjet. Strongly recommend it.

Cons

Layoff, out of a sudden.

Pros

I had a chance to work with the best engineers I've ever seen in my career which helped me to learn and shape my views on software engineering. Decent benefits and work-life balance.

Cons

If you end up working in one of the meritocratic/excellent teams, it can be challenging to get your hands on interesting projects and grow, even the most skilled people are struggling to get promoted/meet their career goals because of cost cuts. The leadership wants people to align with their Current Thing. They expect you to internalize their current vision, reflect it in your core priorities and integrate it in your everyday cognitive process. At some level it makes sense, but it is too intrusive and sometimes counterproductive.
