Pros

Best Team. Good work life balance Collaborative Supportive team Team helps in growing both personally and career

Cons

Return to office while most of the companies are remote , based on your teams policy you will have to be onsite . Hopefully at least engineering team can be remote as it will be more productive than travelling to office which sucks the time and journey.
