Pros

Fantastic opportunities to learn and grow, chance to work with brilliant, highly accomplished and seasoned tech professionals with most of them willing to lend a helping hand. Decent work life balance contrary to the narrative in the media. They are making a sincere attempt to foster an inclusive culture.

Cons

Can feel like you are in a maze and get pretty chaotic at times. Unreasonably high bar for promotion.

Pros

Freedom to carve out your own career path. Performance is monitored and rewarded appropriately. Culture of helpfulness and teamwork is heavily promoted.

Cons

You are somewhat left alone to be responsible for your own learning. While this can be good for some, others may struggle with the autonomy.
