Pros

- I was able to switch to a team delivering products of very high impact - ability to take ownership quickly (I led my first project 3 months in) - very talented team - few meetings

Cons

- All remote so I was not able to build relationships with nearly any of my colleagues, and none from other departments - Having been a senior before, I did not appreciate that I was put in the mid level bucket, and although I took senior level responsibilities (onboarded team, architecture planning, coaching, hiring, company wide presentations) I was not given a timeline towards a potential promotion back to the senior level.

Pros

* strong engineering culture - high degree of emphasis on software engineering craft * founder led and ambitious * exciting and dynamic space (commerce)

Cons

* some very strong ego managers that push to build their kingdoms * you’re at the whim of your boss, no recourse for any issues * poor, even problematic. leadership behavior often “hides” because of the bias towards loud/strong egos over thoughtful ones * weak understanding of data topics at highest levels means weak ML and data culture compared to peers
