Business Outlook

Pros

- Everybody is really open for new technologies. - 90% of the people are very helpful. - If you are in team where your growth is prioritized, then you can develop very intersting things and you'll have a good lead who will take care of your career path. - This a is take it or not, but being engineer means you are a product engineer here. You'll able to speak up about if that feature should be implemented or not, why, what's the impact of it and not just getting a task assigned and implement kind of job. (Side note we have product managers as well).

Cons

Most of the cons are coming from the pros: - If you don't have a good lead who either has a good engineer knowledge or manging people skill or both, then being in that will suck. Because eventually you won't be able to get a promotion and it's expected to be able to grow in a timely manner and at some point get promotion to a higher level and so on. - Being a product engineer sometimes overwhelming, becuase you know every bits of that project. Therefore sometimes it's just too much, specially if the team you are in doesn't have too many people but your team owning big services and you'll have to work alone on those projectes as the capacity is not enough.
