Pros

Challenging.

Ability to move around organizations to gain different experiences.

Hard work and progression can pay off with regular promotions.

Cons
  • Work-life balance was not great.
  • On-call shifts were stressful and occurred every six weeks.
  • Strange release cycles (perhaps this was specific to teams I worked in).
