Lots of autonomy. Experienced development group means they are understanding about technical issues, delivery timelines, and support large initiatives with long term architectural benefits.

The bar is constantly rising so you need to continuously perform at a high level.

Pros

Pay and benefits are good. You learn a lot. People around you are smart. Process and people do try their best to create mechanism to increase fairness and reduce biases in everything people related.

Cons

Hustle culture. Frontline managers have no incentives to actually think about people other than the minimal. Senior leaders are hit or miss. Good people or bad people. Some jerks that work 7 days per week and (consciously or not) expect you to do the same.
