Pros
  1. You will get to learn how to build something that scales.
  2. Some teams really encourage you to bring new and better development practices into the team and act as a leader in your current role.
Cons
  1. Be ready to spend long hours working; sometimes work-life balance goes for a toss (greater than 14 hours of work).
  2. Sometimes deadlines are set by leadership, which are not discussed with the team and are unrealistic. Therefore, expect to take on that challenge sometimes and stretch as long as possible.
