Pros

WLB can be good depending on the team. Overall, the business is doing well, and there are interesting challenges in backend roles.

Cons

Questionably competent leadership in multiple orgs can be difficult to do cross-org work. Big decisions are frequently revisited for no real reason. Lots of time is lost to restating the same things and agreeing on the same direction repeatedly.
