Pros

Career growth is good. There's a lot of scale, which makes design discussions meaningful.

Cons

Many times, you need to work outside of office hours to finish the work, as deadlines are sometimes strict. Work-life balance is not good. If you feel you have not been performing lately, you experience the fear of being put on a Performance Improvement Plan, which basically means you will have to leave the job in 3 months.

Advice to Management

Don't put people on a PIP for not performing on one single project; give them more chances to improve.
