Pros

Fast-paced, exciting opportunities to work on. Always something to do, never have to be bored. Smart people to work with.

Cons

No work-life balance.

Very hard to get recognition as everyone is trying to outsmart each other.

Crappy legacy systems.

SDES spend so much time interviewing, dealing with other third-party companies instead of doing real SDE work.

Immature development practices here and there.
