Pros

Good learning opportunity for new junior SDEs and those that want to learn more about building systems at large scale

Cons

Work is quite demanding and not for everyone, especially people who have a family outside of work. Oncall can be painful depending on the team.

Pros

You get to work on amazing products. I have the liberty to work under the hello fresh division for B2B

Cons

My manager wasn't from a technical background, so she didn't know what she was doing half of the time. She also threw a lot of ambigious deadlines without knowing any process details.
