Pros

Good learning experiences, especially for fresh graduate. It is a good platform to weaponize yourself in order to go further and faster later on down your career path.

Cons

Long hours of on call is physically and mentally demanding. No good perks obviously. Sometimes management tends to micromanage.

Pros

Great company, good technology exposure, good ownership model and usually the teammates are smart and nice and projects are impactful.

Cons

Be careful on team selection, some teams have ridiculous support responsibility where as a developer you cannot really build much
