Can't complain

Pros

Solutions architect role is decent, not as complained in other forums. You design and dictate your work. Not much pressure except you need to be top of latest tech.

Cons

Growth is pretty slow, and sometimes none. Salary not up to the bar when compared to competitors.

Pros

You will learn so much here; how to use data to create better strategies, sharpen your writing skills, speaking up no matter who is in the room, etc.

Cons

VERY fast paced and workloads are heavy. Simple processes are made complicated by lengthy review and approval protocols that change constantly. Burnout is real and the collaborative is intentionally toxic. You are competing against your coworkers for your annual performance reviews and everyone knows it. Lots of manipulation and back stabbing.
