Pros

-There is a lot of room for growth in my position -I like the approach of being able to create and complete projects. This helps show how and what you did to take initiative and that you are committed to making the workplace better -I have 1-on-1s every month with my manager and I feel they are really invested in me growing and progressing in this role, even if that means that I move off the team in the future.

Cons

-I feel the hiring process is a little whack. I was hired as a trainee but upon starting I have found that I have more knowledge than the people training me and people that started around the same time not as a trainee. The hiring process could do better to place people in the right level based on more technical questions during the interview to gauge the interviewee's foundational understanding.

Pros

- Good pay - Interesting work (team dependent)

Cons

- Politics often gets in the way of good work - Clueless, rudderless leadership just cause problems (can be org dependent) - People are encouraged to only do things that check arbitrary criteria for promotion, trying to do what's best or what's right is discouraged - Not many extra benefits compared to other big tech - Work/life balance can be rough (team dependent)
