Pros

Looks great on a resume Lots of amazing hard working honest caring people Upskilling programs. College tuition assistance and certification assistance Big company, can see internal job postings Working on cutting edge server equipment Internal wiki with loads of information

Cons

Outsourcing to contract workers that have little to no experience and aren't given proper training. Little promotions in DCO/DECOM/Install/Scaling. Most promotions go to DCEO Your manager is everything, can easily go from an amazing workplace culture to walking on eggshells depending on the management strategy Inconsistent expectations Ground floor and upper leadership communication non-existent Micro managing and metrics tracking moving into all departments through the "boost electron" system

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
