A mixed bag

Pros

- incredible compensation - *some* incredibly smart and hardworking coworkers you learn a lot from - learn how to frame your business impact - you get good at alignment and communication because you work with so many people - very fast career growth possible like E3->E5 in 2 years - learn to work in high pressure

Cons

- you spend more time thinking about how to prove and document your impact than actually doing things - PSC is gamified, you do fake things that sound good on PSC but are actually very useless - scope fighting depending on team - very stressful at times - experience is very team/manager dependent - work is often not very technically challenging nor transferable
