Pros

Good benefits.

Tuition assistance.

Nice work environment.

Can work remote depending on what part of the company (mine is 60% remote).

Cons

Fast-paced work environment. Not a lot of room for exploration. More focus on deliverables than learning. Not great mental health support. Insensitive manager. Underpaid when I came in as an intern.
