Pros

  • Most rapid growth in a role in 5 years of software experience.
  • Most results and business-impacting work on my resume.
  • High stakes and high pressure means I've been required to grow. I now have many stories about difficult situations and how I handled them well and poorly and learned from them. This is great for job interviews, builds the skills of a team lead and manager, and just makes me a more effective worker.

Cons

High-pressure, results-driven satisfying client demands means intermittent waves of pressure, leading to overtime. (Managers often encourage taking time off after working overtime.)

Advice to Management

More industry hires.

Incentivize hiring and resourcing to make sure we aren't sleeping on the external industry experience of some of our more seasoned team members.
