Pros

Near unlimited resources from rich company, large scope role with lots of autonomy, hard large scale technical problems

Cons

Company/org pivots multiple times a year making it hard to build long term program to build impact. Bias for action at company puts limits on "doing things right" like security or avoiding technical debt.
