- Probably churned through 4-5 managers, you need to be your own advocate
- Mentoring and coaching is not formalized
- Deadline-driven development for no good reason can lead to working more, unless you are willing to push back hard
- You're definitely a cog in a billion dollar machine, a well-compensated cog, and it's still profit driven at its core. May grind against your morals.
- Most lead level engineers and above are white males, at least there seems to be much more diversity coming up
- When COVID is over, don't expect to be 100% remote
- Lot of restructure churn, kinda typical corporate drama
- Lot of stuff going on, nobody has figured out effective cross team communication yet
- Big company can grind your entrepreneurial spirit down, apt to be pigeonholed
