Pros

Strong technical mentorship from senior engineers; code reviews were thorough and genuinely helped me grow Exposure to large-scale distributed systems and high-impact projects from early on Smart, driven teammates who were generally collaborative and willing to help unblock issues Good internal tools and infrastructure for development, testing, and deployment Competitive compensation and solid benefits package NYC office had a great location and decent amenities

Cons

Fast pace can mean limited time for deep documentation or knowledge transfer On-call rotations occasionally disrupted work-life balance during high-traffic periods Org structure shifts sometimes made it hard to track long-term project ownership Could use more structured opportunities for cross-team learning outside your immediate org
