Business Outlook
Pros
Challenging and interesting work, opportunities to "make my mark" and build things from the ground up. Try and find a team that is building something new, and isn't relying too much on another team to build it - that's where all the fun stuff is.
Cons
Some teams have a culture criticizing without offering to help fix things that are broken. Some teams are too afraid to change something that already exists in case it breaks. If you get in between these two kinds of teams (trying to get one team comfortable with improving their tech-debt ridden project, which would require help from a critical team), it can be exhausting. That would describe about 50% of my days - exhausting.
