Pros

Great people, unparalleled work-life balance, and not super demanding workload. The people there are smart and kind, and the company is doing well and I very much believe in the company's success.

Cons

How fast you grow in your career is dependent on the team you're on. Some teams have little work to do, more politics, unhelpful managers, and you're stuck working on trivial things which lead down a slimmer path to promotion. Other teams are fast-paced, impactful, and foster a strong team culture. You need to be aware of this and push for your own growth.
