Pros

Fun. Amazing growth through the training programme and through the role. The list of perks is too long, but key ones are all the meals, coffee, snacks, gym, large discounts at supermarkets and other shopping. Inclusive environment, no sense of superiority by anybody. Good relationships all around.

Cons

Stressful. Tiring. High hours. Mental health may be adversely impacted based on the individual, but not due to the company or the people, but the nature of working in a stressful role where performance is important to the longterm success of the company.
