Pros

generally helpful people plenty ai resources good if you are happy feeling accomplishment from anything other than solving core engineering problems; happy working on small size, low risk/fast delivery/no real learning projects

Cons

bad for career growth if you are startup/midsize company mindset, expecting autonomy, bottom up style initiative, want to venture into anything complex not supportive, expect you to sale your proposal some politics/cult type culture, employees and PEs who choose to sideline you, give you critics in reviews rather than on face highly reactive to market/urgency and great at ignoring proactive bottom up advices

Pros

Compensation is ok, good people

Cons

Forcing crafts to overlap has destroyed momentum (PMs/design forced to code). When vision & direction is needed more than ever, it seems to be evaporating quickly. Things just feel harder to achieve more than ever.
