Pros

It's a great place to learn about large scale backend systems. Pay ok. Some can get away with slacking off. But that is not me.

Cons

Pay is not competitive with other tech companies of the same scale. The CEO has taken away our 401k match which was a major pro. Growth in the company is notoriously slow and takes lots of paper work to do. Tech leads are old and not wanting to implement new tech such as Git into the stack. Making it easy to pigeon hole ones career.

Pros

Good compensation, okay to good work-life balance.

Cons

Old and slow company with way too many procedures for everything. I spent half my time not doing the work I want to and need to do. Only hiring devs in India at the moment produces issues for teams needing to backfill.
