Pros

The whole company is pretty AI-positive, so you're encouraged to use AI extensively in your work. Around 10–15% of people are extremely knowledgeable, and they're great to have as mentors.

Cons

Total compensation can be pretty bad if you don’t get strong rewards. Lately, promotions seem to be the main way to increase base salary, since regular salary increases have almost stopped.
