Pros
I’ve picked up a lot just by being thrown into situations and figuring things out on my own. It’s satisfying when the work actually leads to something useful. Even though the day-to-day can get repetitive or mundane, there are still moments where I feel like I’ve made a difference.
Cons
It feels like fires are constantly being put out instead of actually fixing what’s causing them. Things are disorganized between sites and teams, and it slows everything down. There’s too much focus on pushing out new systems or features before fixing the basics. Training, clear processes, and better communication really need more attention. A lot of people aren’t even properly trained on the tools they’re expected to use, which just leads to more preventable issues. It feels like the approach right now is just to keep things barely running instead of making real improvements that would stop problems from happening in the first place.
