For career growth in engineering, look elsewhere
Pros
The occasional work from home is a good benefit. Ability to work on a modern stack and diverse technology products is a career-booster. The cloud space is exciting and a powerful resume-builder and a relevant experience for applying to companies such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.
Cons
- Considerable amount of favoritism and nepotism among upper levels of management. - Inability to differentiate those with real skills and contributions from those who talk the talk. - Daily political chatter and backstabbing. More than once you'll be called into someone's office and yelled at, including derogatory terms and profanities. - HR is a rubber stamp for management, absolutely no interest in keeping talent in. - Technology has some great potential, but the real problem is management. If you're a talented engineer, look elsewhere for growth - Amazon is just around the corner in Arlington, VA.
