Pros

- hybrid working arrangement - 2 days at office, 3 days working from home - somewhat flexible working hours (depends on team) - opportunity for development - pay is decent at the location - some projects can be interesting - lots of opportunity to take real ownership, make impact

Cons

- company hops on overhyped stuff all the time - long working hours, 9-18 base, with unpaid overtime expected in some roles - development opportunities often add to base workload, not a part of it - career advancement / promotions are impossible right now - if you stay at the company long term they will underpay you
