      Pros

      - learn a lot about a variety of technologies very quickly - the bar is high. 95% of people you work with are very capable - good compensation (probably the best you can get in Brisbane as an SDE)

      Cons

      - they will squeeze you for everything you're worth - very hard to progress within the company for all software levels - success at the company is dictated a lot by the manager you get - RTO (return to office)

      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.
