Pros

Good pay, smart coworkers, and plenty of opportunities to learn and upskill.

Cons

Bureaucracy gets in your way to delivery work. There's no concept of work-life balance. Projects and teams get shuffled, which can be hard to navigate. "Ownership" can be used to hide management incompetence. The best advice is to find a supportive manager who can vouch for you and fight for your work.
