Pros

- The salary is the biggest pro. - Time to time you will get good interesting work while other times alot of mundane work like upgrading the dependencies would consume you without any recognition. - You have to do alot of things in parallel.

Cons

- Some times alot of mundane work would consume you like upgrading the dependencies without any recognition. - You have to punch above your weight. Just doing your job isn't enough. - A lot of workplace politics in picture.
