Pros

Flexibility (full autonomy over schedule and location), office perks, tons of resources for self development

Cons

Increasingly toxic and cutthroat culture. Pay is below market rate. Quality appears to be less of a leadership priority and there is extreme inconsistency in terms of internal talent. Lots of closed-door conversations happening by leadership. No feasible upward mobility if you didn't start at the right time a few years ago.
