Pros

Compensation is good overall. There's a lot of high-impact work on the team. Definitely have learned a lot over the past 1.5 years. WLB is manageable with good communication with you manager.

Cons

If you don't set boundaries, managers will definitely try to take advantage of your time. If they see you working late, they won't be checking in on you to see if everything is fine. Any minute you're willing to offer, they'll accept without question. Company culture can be very blame-shifting. Managers will push for unreasonable deadlines, and if the deadlines aren't met, the engineers are the ones that take the blame. Engineers must be very diligent about giving estimates so that the team is aligned about expectations.
