Not ideal projects and not great bench experience
Pros
As long as you are employed, you get good benefits. You have access to Chapters (a generalized learning and sharing concept, where you pick a Chapter like C++ development and you have access to resources, presentations and live sessions related to said Chapter). A good work culture is established in general, including diversity training.
Cons
Job matching was relatively bad. My first (and only!) project I was put on a project with relatively bad code, and I was expected to learn and figure it out quickly. Once benched because I couldn't cut it in the project anymore, I have had exactly zero matches and interviews for 4+ months, before I was made redundant. This was more a lesson for myself (I need to ask early on how good or bad is the code organized, as well as the volume, on each project)
