Pros

- Very disciplined engineering team, in control of things like costs and downtime - Customer success is valued highly, and you get to know customers and their problems, resolving them and making them happy

Cons

- Too disciplined sometimes, it can be hard to be reactive to what’s happening and suggest new ideas and ways of working - Other teams seem to be much more chaotic particularly for staffing

Pros

It’s a paycheck. Good brand recognition.

Cons

Terrible culture. People fail to plan, then expect everybody else to scramble and spend their nights and weekends reacting to demands within ridiculous timelines. Nothing that you’re doing is so important that it’s worth constantly burning everyone out.
