Pros: Substantial autonomy, opportunity to learn... great coworkers.

Good work-life balance.
Great perks.
Love this job and this company.
Cons: It’s challenging work. You’re given lots of freedom and time/space, but you need to translate that into results.
And you’re working with people who are highly skilled and have been doing this for a long time. While no one makes you work crazy hours, you might need to put in extra time to be able to hang.
