Pros

Interesting work and very flexible working arrangements.

Cons

Matrix org is culturally isolating. You rarely work with your team, and projects have continually rotating team members that sit scattered throughout the building so everything is always online all the time. Moving up the job ladder seems incredibly political. Weird IT. Stingy on hardware for projects and people. Stingy with phones. Monitors are small. VPN connection is slow. IT wants everyone on Windows.
