Pros

Depends on the team; might end up working on a good technology stack.

Fintech domain experience.

Cons
  1. Cannot speak up, especially against a manager.
  2. Suck it up, even if you disagree with the leads.
  3. If you are reporting a manager at your same grade level, you are done with any growth ever.
Advice to Management

Fix the middle-level management. Reporting a manager at your same grade level makes the environment toxic.
