Pros

Wages were competitive but you are locked in on what you start on, you will need to leave and come back to get a pay rise, promotions are harder than getting hired!

Cons

Work life balance is horrendous, stress levels very high as a TPM, massive turnover in staff and non stop re-orgs means you are continuously reinventing the wheel, AWS networking refuse to invest in proper PM tools, it felt like ground hog day all the time, the company is woke to the point of being ridiculous which I think is a common theme now in most big tech companies. Relieved to be moving on, it feels like a meat grinder, it could be a great company but its seems the policy is to burn staff out and bring in fresh replacements.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
