Pros

1. You will get to learn how to build something which would scale. 2. Some teams really encourage you to bring new and better development practices in team and act as a leader in your current role.

Cons

1. Be ready to spend long hours in workings, sometimes work life balance goes for a toss [ greater than 14 hours of work] 2. Sometimes deadlines are set by leadership which is not discussed with team and unrealistic hence, expect to take that challenge sometimes and stretch to as long as possible.
