Pros

Opportunity to work with some of the smartest people in the industry. Resolve challenging and unique problems.

Cons

- Poorest work-life balance in 15+ years of experience - Bad practices: “move fast” culture and performance pressure too often translate to poor code quality and industry-recognized bad practices both technical and behavioral. - Constant fear of underperforming (really high pressure) causes a real issue with burnout - Too HQ-centric: further your are from the HQs the more you feel you are secondary
