A great place to get started
Pros: Great place to land coming out of college as an engineer. I was surrounded by strong technical mentors and able to get up to the speed of industry without regularly working ridiculous hours. Truly appreciate the culture of work life balance
Cons: I was looking for opportunities to work hard and get ahead. I wanted to see my efforts and contributions reflected directly in my career trajectory and I felt that I wasn't going to do significantly better in terms of learning or making advancements by working super hard. I also wanted to diversify my skill set instead of just focusing on engineering and that was hard to do in the environment.
