Pros

Huge opportunities for growth. I have complete agency in what I work on, and what skills I focus on developing. Day-to-day is enjoyable and educational.

Cons

Most people are truly fantastic, but there is the occasional (rare) stereotypical over-entitled, overpaid engineer who doesn't know how to keep their petty complaints to themselves. The work environment itself is great though.

Sometimes, life gets tough and there's no going back. There are actually no cons in this section, i'm just filling the blanks.
