Pros

Starting off you have a great starting salary in a competitive technology firm. Working in teams within functional groups is very important and conducive to success there. Very lenient about working from home.

Cons

Seems very hard to vertically move up the pecking order. Input from team is sometimes limited and autonomy will get you nowhere. Always in meetings and actual taken home for the most part.
