      Pros

      If you’re on a great team you’re lucky, but if you’re on a bad team you’re in trouble. You don’t have much power over what team you’re on.

      Cons

      Huge layoffs, poor upper management that doesn’t really seem to care about lower level folks, big pay cut if you go fully remote until you’re upper management

      Pros

      - The work is intellectually engaging and gave me many chances to grow technically. - I learned a lot from talented coworkers and appreciated being part of projects with real-world relevance. - There was also good exposure to translating technical work into clear, usable takeaways.

      Cons

      - The work can be intense and detail-heavy, and deadlines can sometimes feel demanding. - Priorities may shift quickly, which can make it hard to plan ahead. - At times, the volume of revisions and fast pace can be stressful.
