Pros

Best technology out there, if you want to build fast and big Unending number of jobs to try over time in a variety of fields Good compensation

Cons

Forced attrition goals can motivate managers to push people out just to hit a number rather than build people up. Encourages all sorts of bad behaviors. Employees are not told for months that they are on the first phase of an improvement plan and then get surprised with an offer to exit. No transparency, no accountability.

Pros

- Growth opportunities - Remote - Okay pay - Sense of accomplishment - Access to AWS Cloud services - Experience in troubleshooting - Sign on bonus - Helping people

Cons

- No sense of team - Daily anxiety to meet "numbers" - Your productivity is judged by these individualized goals/ "numbers" that can only be earned through team effort - Working on holidays if you are on the schedule - Lack of attention to employees suffering from mental struggles - Lack of communication between different departments - Work/life balance - Lack of diversity/inclusion in certain teams - Underwhelming training-to-work transition - New hires coming in and older hires leaving pretty much EVERYDAY! - Your "mentor" that is assigned to answer all your questions is probably going to be busy for the day, so you figure it out yourself. - Your team won't necessarily ever see your face, and vice versa.
