Pros

- learn a lot about a variety of technologies very quickly - the bar is high. 95% of people you work with are very capable - good compensation (probably the best you can get in Brisbane as an SDE)

Cons

- they will squeeze you for everything you're worth - very hard to progress within the company for all software levels - success at the company is dictated a lot by the manager you get - RTO (return to office)
