I work at a very large company that is not tech (insurance). I'm doing cloud engineering and there are some fun and interesting problems to solve. I'm blown away by how low the expectations are for how much time is put in and how much is accomplished each day - the pace here is just very different than that of a startup or small company. I get more time off than I've ever had and make decent money.
- dagw 5y agoI can only second this general consensus. Doing tech at large non-tech companies has an entirely different and more laid back pace and stress level than start-ups and tech companies, while the problems that need solving are every bit as fun, challenging and interesting.
- gaws 5y ago> Doing tech at large non-tech companies I find this to be the opposite: non-tech companies that don't know what they want often put more work and pressure on the engineers.
