Pros

Getty offers solid work life balance.

Cons

Engineering management was dead set on old ways and it hurt them tremendously on the solution front. Most of their principal engineers have been there for 15+ years with zero work diversity across all of them. They basically peter principled all the junior engineers into senior roles over decades.
