Pros

- Nice pantry with fruits and chips and all sort of snacks - Good medical and staff benefits - Great company culture emphasizes flat hierarchy and transparency - Michael Bloomberg is a brilliant leader, despite his management team is not as great

Cons

- Unlike normal corporate which has a clear ladder, it is flat i.e. some people can stay around for 10 years in the same position and it's very difficult to move up though easy to move laterally - Haphazard management with new decisions made every 3 to 4 months

Pros

Stable company with excellent compensation and benefits. Great place to build a strong foundation in data center operations and enterprise infrastructure. Exposure to a wide range of technologies, vendors, and production environments. Collaborative culture with supportive coworkers and a healthy work-life balance. Good environment for learning the fundamentals of hardware deployment, troubleshooting, networking, and large-scale infrastructure.

Cons

Career growth can be slow due to a very flat organizational structure and low turnover in senior positions. Limited opportunities to develop new technical skills or take ownership of major infrastructure projects. Training and professional development opportunities can be inconsistent and may depend on management support rather than individual initiative. Engineers looking for greater technical ownership, innovation, or faster career progression may eventually outgrow the role.
