Vantaggi

Growing network load. Growing staff. Amazingly effed up technologies that you'll never guess could work. Easy to make 10x difference to random processes. Extreme trouble-shooting culture good for true-full stack troubleshooters. Very good people to work with. Great work life balance (lots of kids on site during spring vacation, no eyebrows raised; working remotely post school hours is common)

Svantaggi

High management is non-technical and doesn't stay too long, so lots of money/human lives poured into "projects" that never could succeed, while the essential work of paying off technical debt and scaling the system for each years new internet customers is done in the shadows by grumpy people that get poor review.

Vantaggi

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Svantaggi

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
