Pros

Log of good things if you drink the Kool-Aid.

Tech stack is fairly modern.

Some nice and smart people to work with.

WFH. High comp.

Cons

There is so much legacy and an overcomplicated web of microservices. Changes happen pretty slowly, and you're going to be bogged down by a lot of operational stuff, mostly editing config files. On-call is difficult as the majority of people have no clue of what they are doing. Forget work-life balance, and PTO is very little. For me, the added compensation was not worth the switch, considering the environment is not as nice and the work is not interesting.
