Pros

A place to learn a lot of end-to-end software engineering, including the boring parts such as testing and deployment. Talented and hard-working coworkers.

Cons

Culture, coworkers, and management heavily skew towards a certain ethnicity. It's hard to find diverse, well-functioning teams.

A double-edged sword is that one is required to be very proactive in finding and delivering value with little help from teammates. A high-stress, sink-or-swim environment.
