Pros: Great place to land coming out of college as an engineer. I was surrounded by strong technical mentors and able to get up to speed with the industry without regularly working ridiculous hours. I truly appreciate the culture of work-life balance.
Cons: I was looking for opportunities to work hard and get ahead. I wanted to see my efforts and contributions reflected directly in my career trajectory, and I felt that I wasn't going to do significantly better in terms of learning or making advancements by working super hard.
I also wanted to diversify my skill set instead of just focusing on engineering, and that was hard to do in the environment.
