Business Outlook

Pros

Get to work with the latest tech and there are a lot of opportunities to learn and try new things

Cons

Priorities are often fluctuating and the work does too accordingly. The company culture does not emphasize documentation. While it may sound convenient, you are often left scrambling to get information from other people to move forward with your work and that gets tough
