Pros

I'm on a product that impacts many clients. As a result, always lots of work to do from implementing new features to optimizing performance My team almost feels like a startup in that each person's contributions are valued and needed

Cons

as the product i work on is already pretty mature, the features i work on sometimes feel like micro optimizations to an already very stable product would like to see more analytics from features we ship, and would like to be more involved on what we do with such feedback. It seems like we never look back, and even if we create a feature that isn't used, we never seem to ask why we always have tight deadlines ahead of us, and so implementing these new features takes priority sometimes i wonder what the product vision is
