Pros

- Unbeatable work-life balance; flexible hours, working from home is available (albeit see advice to management below), summer hours, working late is extremely rare. Infinitely better than previous roles I've had. - Positive workplace atmosphere: people are friendly, helpful, and relaxed - Great team dynamics: on the teams I've been on, the collaborative spirit makes problem-solving a blast - Interesting technology and industry: Working with the ReactJS framework in the edtech space is challenging and educational (pun not intended) - Office is handily located in city centre with great transport options (by Dublin standards)

Cons

- Attempts to harmonize processes and technologies across all engineering teams cause needless friction for questionable gain - Unnecessary meetings...probably universal to all companies

Pros

- Easy work (more customer support than tech support) - Team is very friendly and helpful - Plenty of downtime to do other things during work - Knowledge Articles not that helpful in day to day. End up forwarding questions/issues to the team a lot more

Cons

- Might be placed into part-time instead of full-time

Pros

If you were a classroom teacher, you have more agency and leadership than in the classroom. You can also make your own schedule.

Cons

The NY contract feels ineffective for the systemic problems that NY faces
