It's pretty good...has its daily, noticeable issues

Pros

Pays well, keeps you busy.

Cons

So much red tape surrounding any process ever. Also AI is taking over and code-quality from peers is almost entirely AI-generated...far from good. Tracks metrics (does not accurately do so, either) that can be held against you in reviews.
