Pros

Outside of my department the people seemed happy and engaged. The HR team was great. Salary was good.

Cons

I don't like writing this, but I feel like I need to warn other considering joining the DevOps or SRE teams. I left after only 6 weeks in favor of poverty because I just couldn't stand even one more day while I looked for a new job. The onboarding process was ridiculously bad. The job description didn't resemble reality in any way... it was a complete bait and switch. The DevOps and Backend teams are awful.... Absolutely no communication. They have no understanding of what DevOps or SRE mean. I predict the business will fail because reliability is critical and they have no idea how to get there.

Pros

- Exceptionally strong engineering team, especially in network technologies. After interviewing elsewhere, it became clear how far ahead the core technology really was. - Deep, thoughtful code reviews were strongly encouraged, creating an environment where learning from each other and improving code quality was the norm rather than the exception. - Backend teams were equally skilled and collaborative, which made cross-team work both productive and intellectually rewarding. - The company valued taking the time necessary to build things correctly. This focus on quality was especially important given the security‑critical nature of the product and the trust customers place in it. - Management encouraged independent thinking and ownership, which empowered engineers to make meaningful technical contributions. - Mostly remote work (around 95%) provided flexibility, complemented by occasional week‑long in‑person design sessions and social get‑togethers that noticeably boosted collaboration and morale. From what I understand, in‑person collaboration became even more frequent after I left.

Cons

- Much of the inner workings lived in the codebase and in people’s heads, so ramping up took some time for me. - The predominantly remote environment could be challenging if you thrive on frequent, ongoing feedback.
