Pros

Depending on the team, you may be given a project that will really stretch you and accelerate your learning.

Cons

You could burn out if you don't pace yourself. As a global company, you'll have co-workers in other time zones. Try to avoid being available all the time.

Advice to Management

Don't treat everything as a short-term project, where the engineer gets it done and moves on. Too little emphasis is being put on maintainability.
