Pros

There is always something new to learn.

Cons

Unpaid oncall shifts. Once you are a lvl 5, you might be stuck there for years unless you get lucky. Now they want employees to return to the office 5 days a week. Lack of benefits, (ie. we don't have a Prime account)

Pros

- Wide variety of work, complex problems to solve that we don't see in normal SaaS company - Some very knowledgeable SDEs - Focus on writing and getting designs/ideas fleshed out - sometimes feel pain but gives better results

Cons

- RTO - Unnecessarily complicated promo process - constant pressure of delivering and gathering projects/data points to show you are ready for next level
