Pros

The engineers are great and are very knowledgeable about what they are doing. One of the things I really enjoy here is that they are approachable and very helpful if you need help or have questions. From time to time I do feel intimidated because of just how knowledgeable they are, but they are very open to helping you and giving advices to guide you along . Another thing that I like is, if you communicate, that you are interested in doing certain projects or are interested in contributing/learning about certain things, they are willing and helpful in bringing you into projects that will help you.

Cons

The sprints can be overwhelming with the amount of work needed to be done, but if you communicate effectively, they are more than understanding.
