Pluspunten
The company values technical quality without demanding employees sacrifice their personal lives. They provide modern tools, including AI, and you'll work with cutting-edge technologies. The environment and culture are excellent for professional development. My direct lead, HR team, and People team were outstanding from day one until my last day - supportive, professional, and genuinely caring about employee wellbeing.
Minpunten
Your experience depends entirely on your manager. In my case, I dealt with an extremely technical and controlling manager who wouldn't let the team own their work. Rather than traditional micromanagement, it was a sophisticated form of control - disguised as technical guidance but effectively removing team autonomy. Any common deployment error or configuration issue triggered disproportionate reactions. The manager constantly interfered with the Technical Manager's work through conflicting demands disguised as suggestions, undermining the established hierarchy. He worked 24/7 (from 5 AM until late night) and while claiming not to demand this from the team, he subtly pressured for "protagonism" - a concept the company doesn't actually promote. The passive-aggressive communication style created a toxic environment where his words said one thing but expectations were another. He displayed arrogance while denying it. If you can tolerate sophisticated control disguised as collaboration and passive-aggressive communication, it might work. Otherwise, I strongly recommend avoiding this area.
