Pros

For someone entering the field of data center critical facilities it is a great place to learn how the field operates. You will be able to see many different type of facilities each unique with how they operate. Very good learning opportunities that is built into the career progression. Cross over to other departments and fields are very possible.

Cons

High turn over either by people leaving the company or getting promoted upwards and outwards. This causes gaps in necessary knowledge and skills depending on who leaves. Yearly pay increases are a competition for the top performing spots only the top few will receive a large pay increase, if you are a middle performer prepare to just keeping up with inflation. Benefits are okay at the greatest. 401K could be better.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
