Pros

Plenty of hardware to get your hands on. Some of the senior techs are quite knowledgable.

Cons

You won't learn much about what you are working on, no thinking required as you just follow predetermined workflows, much like reading from a script when working in a call centre.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
