"The work was very fulfilling."
"I love the challenge of troubleshooting in general. Whether it is reading somebody else's code to tune or to find a glitch in the logic or perhaps looking through documentation to see how a function should work. I also like being the go-to person for my team. This gives me a sense of pride as being the "guy in the know". I don't like being on call 24 X 7 but realize that this is the price one pays for being in this position. Besides, if you and your team performs at a high level then calls should be minimized."
"Good to learn multiple products, but not much scope of new technology to work with."
