Pros

Very interesting work all around with cameras and visualization. Exploration of new technologies and investments made into some new ventures.

Cons

Structural reorginization hurt my performance in the months leading up to my resignation. There's an overall lack of senior devs that can guide you, basically a gap between regular software engineers and principle level ones. And the strict adherence to agile just wastes time all around.
