Pros
  • Feedback-oriented culture provides avenues to both give and receive feedback.
  • Job security
  • A lot of growth opportunities - both in terms of acquiring knowledge/skills as well as advancing in role/responsibility
  • Good benefits (salary, stock options)
Cons
  • Steep learning curve! You'll get real responsibility quickly, but the first year will be a constant challenge as you get oriented in fundamental knowledge.
  • High risk for burnout. Your experience may vary based on project/role assignments, but it's not uncommon for people to be overstaffed (e.g. staffed 10 hours to a project that realistically requires significantly more time to do a satisfactory job).
  • Minimal WFH flexibility and relatively low PTO/paid holidays for first two years.
Advice to Management

Reassess how hours are allocated, especially for newer folks. There seems to be a mindset that high turnover is easily addressed by constant hiring, which may technically work, but I imagine it would be better for everybody (organization and employees) if burnout was avoided, thus helping retention.
