Pros

Work was predictable and allowed good work-life balance. Pay was fair for the kind of work you do.

Cons

It becomes monotonous after some time and there is little to no change for career progression within the org except for becoming a people manager. The leadership in the US is blind to feedback and they show their 'extreme' gratitude for the work you do in their words and you feel the exact opposite in their actions.
