Pros

The pay is typically good, tech is good, free commute

Cons

The benefits are not as competitive as many large tech companies (I pay over $600/mo for health insurance, max 2% employer 401k match), feels like churn and burn culture, you can't just be good at your job, you have to be 98th percentile ambitious before getting promoted in most orgs, most people only stay in a role for 18 months to 2 years because there's pressure to always be innovating and documenting everything you do but all the internal attrition just results in a lack of expertise.
