Pros

Collaborative environment. Great mentorship for a junior. Lots of opportunities for growth and project ownership.

Cons

Weekly oncall rotation + late nights sometimes. Have to push hard to get promoted if your team/project is underfunded. Lots of re-orgs, which led to unclear project roadmaps and shifting heads around projects constantly.
