Pros

- Pay - Cool Office - Free lunch

Cons

- technically uninspired. Surprised at how many other experienced engineers here don't understand core concepts like immutability and idempotency which leads to badly designed systrems. the work is boring and easy and will not make you a better engineer - my managers didn't do anything which left ICs to deal with PMs and designers all the time - disorganized management and structure. instability in management made it obvious how unnecessary most of them were
