Pros

Being a part of the design team during some of the most important transitions for the company was a formative experience. When I worked here, a lot of the product strategy was design-led. There are pros and cons to this, but as a designer you are given a lot of room for visioning and ideating. I always felt I got the best of both worlds in terms of getting "agency experience" (learning to work with clients, sell and execute projects, etc) and being an in-house design team (seeing projects through, having common organizational goals to work toward, a strong team culture). The XD team here attracts and retains some of the most hard-working and talented folks I've met - partially due to the no-BS, get rewarded for good work expectations that have been established by the director and her leads. There is no room for ego-driven people to survive on the team.

Cons

From what I can tell the company has stabilized a lot since I've left, but there were typical problems that exist with a young product organization - unclear lines between the roles of product/design/eng ownership at the higher levels which trickled down to impact IC work. That being said, they had promising new hires in product and were taking the right steps for the right people (those who work hard and have the right expertise) to take on leadership roles.

Pros

Large enterprise environment with exposure to complex network infrastructure, major vendors, data centers, WAN, firewalls, and large-scale operational processes. There are good people on the team, and the environment itself can give you visibility into how a large company manages network services.

Cons

The Network Engineering role is not really hands-on network engineering. Much of the actual technical work, implementation, configuration, and deeper engineering execution is handled by HCL. Internally, the role can feel more like vendor coordination, ticket chasing, and driving HCL than actually owning and engineering the network yourself. If you are expecting to configure, troubleshoot deeply, build solutions, implement changes, and stay technically hands-on, this role may be disappointing. It can feel less like being a network engineer and more like being an HCL babysitter with a network engineering title
