Pros

Near unlimited resources from rich company, large scope role with lots of autonomy, hard large scale technical problems

Cons

Company/org pivots multiple times a year making it hard to build long term program to build impact. Bias for action at company puts limits on "doing things right" like security or avoiding technical debt.

Pros

Opportunity to learn and do, no boundaries... can stretch yourself and achieve experience that you would not be able to do in any other company

Cons

Severe burn out, be prepared to lose track of time...forget what year it is. Very top down micro management until you build trust with your leadership and denigrate demonstrate you can deliver repeatedly... compensation not great for the amt of hours put in
