Pros

- Smart people - Challenging work - Always engaged

Cons

- Little room for career growth - Pigeon-holed to certain functions - Company is not empathetic even though they say they do (DEI, accommodations for differences, etc - they cater to the typical white male who is authoritative, those are the executive and senior leaders)

Pros

Exciting environment, work alongside world class minds, be amazed, be humbled. Flexible work environment for occasional/frequent remote work.

Cons

There is no such thing as FullTime, or Time to go home and spend time with the family at the end of the day, but usually go home so you can keep working remotely.
