Pros

Flexibility for remote or hybrid roles.

Cons

* Unclear expectations * Burn out is an epidemic at Scale, OPMs are overworked and underpaid * Zero onboarding experience, it's only you on your own having to reinvent the wheel each time since everyone else is overworked and no one has the time to onboard new hires. * Disrespectful managers, sometimes even insulting

Pros

- Lot of flexibility as you get a say in how much core platform vs. customer-specific work you want to take up - Exciting growth avenues being pursued by organization in both enterprise and public sectors - Heavy emphasis on internal tooling being built that augments developer experience and pace of client delivery

Cons

- Sometimes, the team moves at a rapid pace at expense of sustainability/maintainability for short-term wins. - Lots of internal tooling being built are prematurely deployed for developers, and a lot of time goes into back-and-forth for gains that will only be visible in a large lookahead.
