Pros

Team Leadership - My immediate team has great leadership. They've been extremely supportive since I've joined, have helped me navigate the EOY review in great fashion and are willing to hand me significant work to make an impact Talented Teammates - All engineers on my team are extremely talented, helpful and motivated. It feels good to be surrounded by great teammates. WorkLife Balance - My team emphasizes working during work and not letting it spill past work hours. My manager pushes us to take time off when we need it as well. Obviously, if you're on-call or have something critical you might need to work a bit late, but not often on my team. Great Pay - Close to making 200k while living in Texas

Cons

Think I could have negotiated my salary a bit more. But still content with current pay.
