Pros

You can gain valuable experience working on large-scale systems and contribute to meaningful projects that have a real impact on customers.

Cons

Some teams can be toxic, and others may suffer from weak leadership—it really depends on the team. However, there shouldn’t be as many teams with these issues as there are today.
