Pros

If you are a "go getter" there are plenty of opportunities for you to stick your head in on and run with it. Down side is, you will be the go to guy for that now and for always.

Cons

Those that try to exceed are often treated the same as those that squeak by. The work life balance is poor even though it is touted as a company trait. Maybe some other departments have it, cant speak for that. I know this position is expected to be available at the drop of a hat, 24x7/365.

Pros

I'm a senior-level software engineer, previously worked at tech companies, and this job is relatively easy for me. No on-call, work-life balance is good. I usually get everything done within 2-week sprints.

Cons

GMF is the true definition of work hard, not smart. There are so many dumb engineers. There was a time I had to work with non-technical teams like prod support, and it was quite frustrating. They wanted my team to build an automation so they didn't have to work manually as if anything is possible and there is no limitation within the company. I didn't even create a backlog item as it was a waste of time.
