Pros

Engineers have full ownership for their work. You scope it, build it, test it, support it. Feels like a start-up. Laser-sharp focus on real-world problems.

Cons

Competitive - often there are multiple teams building similar things. This also leads to corporate politics sometimes taking precedence to engineering. Work-life balance is poor. Stressful and highly-demanding.
