Pros

Challenging work, constant pushing for perfection, good team culture (for the most part). Excellent work life balance.

Cons

Set in their ways and anything anyone says outside of it is laughed at. Ideas aren't taken into account unless upper management had it first. Set on using tech because "big people use it so it must be good." Below average pay Unwillingness to hire people Would rather stick to their "perfect beings" than expand it, thus causing little hiring, and bulk loads on developers. Guidance is "I want to use this technology cause Netflix uses it, figure out how." Not, "This is the challenge, find the best solution and why" Direct managers are good people, directors are caught in their own cloud.
