Pros

Great teams are wonderful but hard to find.

Most teams are stressful. You often have zero guidance on how to succeed. You are ranked against your peers, cutthroat and sometimes toxic environment.

Pros

Good pay + benefits. Talented coworkers. Lots of in-house skill development resources for those sufficiently motivated.

Cons

Terrible crunch culture and arcane politics from upper management can often lead to poor work-life balance and perpetual crunch within certain orgs, that only get worse as high-value contributors slowly start showing signs of burn-out.

If your manager is not good, you have no chance to survive.
