Strong communication and good pay, but stressful on-call duties
Pros
The development process for handling product requirements is very stable and well-paced. Engineers are invited to almost all product-related meetings, which helps ensure that timelines and delivery expectations are well aligned from the beginning. Engineers are encouraged to raise any questions, and both managers and stakeholders are responsive and willing to provide clear answers. The overall communication culture is open and collaborative. The compensation and benefits are also competitive. There is a guaranteed 14-month salary package, along with performance bonuses distributed twice a year. Each bonus is typically around 1–2 months of salary.
Cons
Since the platform operates 24/7, engineers are required to participate in an on-call rotation. Each shift usually lasts about one week, depending on the team size. If any system issues occur, the on-call engineer is expected to quickly assess the severity and start troubleshooting immediately. This can be quite stressful at times.
