Pros
Autonomy and Ownership: Engineers are trusted to make decisions and are empowered to own their solutions end-to-end. Collaborative Culture: Cross-functional communication is good. Team members are approachable, and feedback is usually taken constructively. Learning Opportunities: Encouragement for certifications, conferences, and staying up to date with tools and platforms. Flexible Work Setup: Hybrid or remote options available, with reasonable expectations around working hours.
Cons
