Pros

hybrid work arrangement varied senior mentorship who has their own niches of specialization

Cons

salary is good if you know how to negotiate it, but otherwise you'll be stuck with the measly increase during the new fiscal year you have to really keep up on your own, they heavily rely on on-the-job-training so you have to get a project that requires it first and then learn that skill
