Pros

Great place to kickstart your career. While WLB can vary depending on the team, can vary from good to bad, on average seems to be closer to being ok in my experience.

Cons

Not a great place to stay if you value meritocracy, gaining political capital is more valuable than delivering customer value. Some team on calls are pretty bad, you might as well always be online in those teams.
