Pros

- Banana - AWS products are used by customer. - Smart co-workers

Cons

- Expect to work 50-60 hrs per week. - 40% attrition in this year and leadership have no idea how to fix the culture. They even stop sending notice for leaved engineer. You only find your co-worker left when ping them on slack. - Eng culture lacking in newer team. Quality of production env kept deteriorating this year because operation don't buy IC or manager promotions and nobody cares. - Stack ranking, see 2 talented engineer forced out because of enforced LE target. - Much lower pay than industrial average if you join as college hire.
