Pros

The compensation as well as some of the very talented colleagues.

Cons

Be prepared to be in a team with a lead that has no holistic understanding of the technical problem at large drive redundant, unrealistic roadmaps. Leadership is hired by folks that aren’t even in the same technical field, so they have no idea whether that person even knows what they are doing or not. The only thing that matters is your ability to convince your delusions upon your superiors in a 45-minute presentation. You’ll be surrounded by technical zealots with a very narrow understanding of a technical problem try and convince everyone that they are right, which they will because the social atmosphere in management and leadership is incredibly clique-y and politic-y. Be amazed as you observe continent workers and vendors get paid 1/4 the salary of FTEs while doing three times the work and be saddled with the real problems. I’ve never seen so many people be so confidently wrong before.
