Pros

You can get promoted quickly if you are lucky to be placed in a lucky team and work really hard.

Cons

Depending on the team, it can get really busy. A lot of people adopt a 996 work culture from China. Don't expect to coast here. Tons of people find themselves working till 6 PM to 10 PM.

Advice to Management

They are too focused on AI and agents in a way that is fitting AI into places that don't need it.
