Pros

Work is challenging (can be considered both good and bad) - need to learn new things almost every day Experienced developers that you can learn from Overall, pretty good compensation (including health days, health related compensation, salary and stock options)

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy and non development related asks and tasks Many work related blockers can come up Depending on team and manager, you either can or can't work on things that you actually enjoy
