Pros

Your immediate peers are smart and hard working. The problems are interesting and there is opportunity to grow in your career for junior hires.

Cons

Too many processes, politics and top down directives. The roadmap changes weekly with unrealistic deadlines for a product that requires a lot of overhead to change. The RTO mandate is being rolled out with no care or trust for employees and it is killing the culture.
