Pros

Full 100% WFH available for people not near an office

Cons

-Management in Cloud Platforms is completely detached from reality. Too busy stroking each others egos and trying to pretend their pet projects like IDP are relevant now that the AI bubble is collapsing in front of them. -Pay progression non existent after only 3 years at the company. "You are already at the top of your pay band. If you want more money you need to get promoted or leave" despite an outstanding performance review.
