Great place to work but challenging
Pros: Great salary, lots of benefits e.g. health insurance, promotion opportunities. Work on projects that millions of users will experience, own the product from concept to delivery and learn from data collected.
Cons: Work life balance, expected to work more than contracted hours to be successful for no overtime. On call rotation for service incidents required on teams with services (Inc. Public holidays), no extra benefits as recognition (team specific). Projects can be very stressful.
