Pros

Tons of growth opportunities, great place to learn and earn.

Cons

Requires to fully focus on delivering actual, relevant business results. So, that could be swim or sink every day. Everything what can be measured will be measured. That brings its own cultural and process changes.

Pros

The problem space is very interesting. Commitments from leadership is strong. Lots of solvable problems.

Cons

Lots of managers and directors who don’t know what to do and insist on steering. Lots of teams who have no path to success and end up randomized everyone cause they have leadership backing. Poor quality managers who make bad decisions and then hide them.
