Pros

There are a lot of different products being worked on.

Benefits are decent.

Cons

Most product teams have terrible work/life balance. On my last team, it was not uncommon to work 7 days a week.

Each team has its own culture, and it was sometimes a big shock when you changed teams.

Politics can sometimes drive things more than the right thing for the customer.
