Pros

Competitive pay. The work environment is good if you work from home. If you're lucky, you will have a good team.

Cons

10-12 hour days, expect to work some weekends.

Very high pressure.

If you are L4, you will be forced to relocate.

You will be drinking from a firehose and most likely be given a pile of tasks from multiple managers.

Tribal knowledge and poor documentation will slow you down significantly.

Advice to Management

Be careful when you give tasks to people during your one-on-ones, especially if you're a skip or the skip of that skip. You could easily pile on an overwhelming amount of tasks, even if you think it's small, on top of what other managers have given that individual.
