Pros

- Fairly good work life balance - Remote work - No “cliqueness” culture or pressure to socialize - Very smart, professional, and cool colleagues

Cons

- Disorganized - Not clear on what I’m supposed to be doing all the time - Experience really depends on your team lead - Work can feel tedious - Feels like there’s a high-pressure, top-down mentality where the goal is to please or avoid being attacked
