Pros: The benefits and pay are really good.

Cons: Work life balance can be challenging.

Pros: It is an unmatched place when it comes to impacting global-scale products from essentially day one, and the benefits follow. I was able to work on backend systems supporting the entire BSP portfolio, and then on two products used by millions of people every month. And I mean really working on them - having ownership, owning the failures, doing the hard work.

Cons: The pace here is very intense, there's essentially no downtime. You constantly feel like you're underperforming and falling behind, and have to actively work this feeling because most people here get way above average/outstanding/unfathomable work done. But it can get very taxing on your mental health - though there's no explicit requirement to do so, a lot of people here work through sick leaves and holidays, etc. Still, if you're up for that I think this is one of the few places that will actually reward you accordingly for the hard work.

Pros: The standard expectation is for everyone in the company to be in a never-ending pursuit for excellence. For everything.

Cons: Very demanding, not for everyone, maybe not forever.
