Pros

- Lots of ownership opportunities since the team (in FinTech) was only 3-4 months old when I joined (late 2018) - Got to design and implement major features/projects E2E - Good WLB, but this was because of the department/team being FinTech and only facing internal customers

Cons

- Lack of strong mentorship in the team/department - was basically figuring things out myself after 6+ months and setting standards
