Pros

There are some incredibly smart and talented people there and the job will up your game significantly. Pay's not terrible.

Cons

It's exactly like you've heard. It's a meat grinder. And as soon as it starts to wear on you and your productivity dips, they throw you out and replace you - or come up with a scheme like RTO where they can just fire you with cause and not even pay severance. Thanks a million there.
