Pros

A fair number of perks to the job. A fair amount of stability; WLB isn't too bad compared to other employers in the area

Cons

Huge pay and annual incentive discrepancies between MLE vs your typical software engineer. This last review cycle really showed just how bad this is. many SE were given mediocre bumps and nearly zero refreshers over those with MLE. MLE makes 2-3x what a SE makes...something that is laughable today given that pretty much all ML work these days is tuning a prompt that gets fed into GPT. This is driving a lot of SE away from the company.
