Pros

Work is in an interesting space (low level systems) Coworkers are super open and helpful You get to own the feature you are developing on Lots and lots of database problems to work on

Cons

Career growth isn't talked to as much - you have to go seek it out yourself You end up owning features you developed on in the past which can overload you leading to a lot of tech debt Mentorship is hit or miss - you need to be proactive and find it yourself If you don't like databases...lots and lots of database problems to work on Higher churn than is ideal - team suffers a lot when knowledge with a senior employee leaves Weak retention of engineers - engineers seem to leave for competitors/other companies due to compensation reasons

Cons

Focus on creating a culture where employees feel respected, supported, and valued. Take employee feedback seriously and hold managers and team leads accountable for how they interact with their teams. When employees raise concerns or ask for support, ensure those issues are addressed with meaningful action rather than being overlooked. Better communication, transparency, and leadership accountability would help build trust, improve morale, and strengthen employee retention.
