Pros: - Good pay.

Cons: - Bad work-life balance.
- The work culture is not very great; it's not collaborative and is more based on individual contribution.
- The SDET role might state "Software Development Engineer in Test," but it's more about automation work, which isn't great if you want to gain good learning and knowledge of different technologies.
