Pros

Good on resume. Money is good. Gain experience in a corporate atmosphere (good and bad). Understand some key techniques, architectures, and features that are widely used, which can give an idea of the interesting problems encountered in such a huge industry.

Cons

Expected to carry your own load. Any help comes with strings attached and will count against you in the long run. Mistakes and missed or extended deadlines are noted. Maybe corporate politics under the radar, so need to make all efforts to be clear where you stand at all times, and you can still be blindsided. Not easy to get an end-to-end picture of systems during initial years. Implicit pressure can lead to long hours.

Advice to Management

Reduce workload
