Pros

Lots of autonomy, respect for the role, EAs hardly ever get laid off, pay is good.

Cons

All of the above depends heavily on your manager and your organization. I was in one org that was turning highly toxic, so I moved laterally to a completely different org and it was much better. Some EAs are afraid to push back against their bosses, so they're miserable. Path to promotion is murky and arbitrary

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
