Pros

Role allowed me to build solution with a lot of autonomy Good compensation and workload Mostly good workplace culture and supportive team

Cons

People I worked with weren't technical so couldn't provide much guidance there, had to learn on my own Started off using very outdated technology, moved to a cloud solution but was still basic implementation without a lot of modern tech stack because it was only me building it Difficult to get business support/funding for project, lots of bureaucracy Some internal politics and frequent restructuring, but I was largely shielded from it
