Pros: Compensation, benefits, work, smart people. It used to be very collaborative, but now it's occasionally collaborative.
Making Markets is fun and interesting to study and learn about.
In earlier days, prioritizing work-life balance was done well, as it was needed for ambitious workers.
Cons: Silos, secrecy, lack of transparency, no distribution of common tools leading to tool redundancy, project ideation easily and often shot down, egos, and work-life balance has gotten worse over the years.

Pros: There was good communication, good compensation, good culture, and good benefits.
Cons: Perhaps work-life balance will be moderate. Stress and pressure will be medium to high. It is fast-paced with mandatory office work. All of the factors are highly dependent on your team and management.
