Pros: Great opportunity, nice people, fun job.

Cons: Your office is not big enough.

Pros: If you're a full-time employee, you will definitely be able to learn a lot. Benefits are incredible.

Cons: Extremely variable experience depending on your manager. Lots of meaningless meetings. Incredibly difficult to get anything done in an appreciable window of time. Vitriolic levels of workplace toxicity, backed up by almost every amicable team member I'd worked with jumping ship in the span of a few months. Also assigned responsibilities highly disproportionate (i.e. in excess) to my actual job level / compensation. Nobody is motivated and a lot of blame-shifting all around. It is an absolutely thankless role, exacerbated by employees I knew did legitimately earnest / above-and-beyond work getting laid off regardless simply to meet upper management headcount culling. It's depressing since none of this was at all the case when I entered.

Pros: Meaningful work with people that share the same drive and passion for software engineering as me.

Cons: I have not experienced any cons so far.
