We have been using Bazel in 20 dev python org. I think most of us have been happy with the transition while collaboration has improved and onboarding has become much easier. The biggest pain point is the python part and not having the resources to vendor everything but the Bazel team is working to fix this albeit very slowly. We get around some of these nonhermetic issues with python and dependencies by using a consistent docker based dev environment for everyone. Only takes a few minutes bazel build/test/run anything in our repo. EDIT: We run Bazel in drone as part of our CI/CD system and this is probably the most unoptimized part given how they do not work that well together. Bazel query allows us to due targeted builds/tests based upon the git changes and dependents of those changes.
