Pros

Friendly and helpful colleagues. Remote/flexible working. Good work-life balance. Some people set a very bad example, but you don't have to follow it. This might be team dependent.

Cons

No annual salary reviews or performance bonuses. Very bad scaling problems. Senior management would rather waste cash on vanity projects than your remuneration or ensuring financial health of the company. DevOps is 95% just Ops - there are no proficient developers in what is already quite a large team. Unreasonable amount of failures on-call. Instead of fixing the root cause, more people are thrown at the problem to deal with the fallout manually. Severe lack of communication within DevOps team(s). There are few opportunities for junior members to learn from senior members. Automation team is an oxymoron as it's mostly dealing with issues manually. This is where all the juniors are shoved and are only superficially exposed to modern DevOps tools with few opportunities to actually use them. 'Workflow restarter team' would be a more fitting name.

Pros

None. You should probably look for opportunities somewhere else, unless you enjoy raising your blood pressure.

Cons

Working here was so frustrating because of the lack of communication from leadership and management. Expectations and demands are often vague, and important information is often left out, leading to a lot of wasted time and situations that were easily avoidable. Even if you try to be proactive and ask for clarification, you aren’t going to get a clear answer from management, and basically expected to read their minds. What’s even worse is the fact that employees get blamed for any mishaps that happen due to the company’s negligence.
