      Pros

      - Good work-life balance - The people there are nice - They allow for inter-team movement and collaboration for more diverse work

      Cons

      - Pay is low for the work and very low for the location - Upper management changes the long-term goals frequently, causing confusion about the direction of updates - The industry is going through a squeeze, which doesn't help - Experience is very dependent on your team and your manager

      Pros

      - The work is intellectually engaging and gave me many chances to grow technically. - I learned a lot from talented coworkers and appreciated being part of projects with real-world relevance. - There was also good exposure to translating technical work into clear, usable takeaways.

      Cons

      - The work can be intense and detail-heavy, and deadlines can sometimes feel demanding. - Priorities may shift quickly, which can make it hard to plan ahead. - At times, the volume of revisions and fast pace can be stressful.
