Pros

Onboarding and training is complete and engaging. Usually the time at the start of a new job can be less engaging. They fill this with embark tasks. You interview teams after you get hired. It helps you find the perfect team. Experience is not wasted, you get to use what you already learned. Very smart people.

Cons

If I didn't know what to look for in meetings, I would have had a tough time setting up my development environment. Basically I had to lean on my experience to get started. However to be fair, I may have jumped the gun on this. I like to get started in the code ASAP.
