Pros

Challenging engineering problems. Software engineers are in touch with physical product. Talented colleagues. Good cross-functional collaboration. Management supports any educational activities. Great appreciation and solid bonuses for creativity. Well designed promotion mechanism. Strong retention program. A lot of business travels with full reimbursement of expenses.

Cons

People management career track developed much better then technical one. Rapid business expansion causes fast accumulation of technical debt and result in expensive development. Management predicts company growth well but can't provide appropriate office space in time, so working space is crowded. Management-driven Agile without Scrum Masters. Business driven decisions cause a lot of stress.

Pros

The systems and processes are extremely complex and unique, if you enjoy solving "puzzles" and can remember a lots of small things - you will be a king of engineering here!

Cons

The complexity of processes partly come from multiple historical layers of code that you still have to support and generally don't have much time to re-engineer. Also if you don't want to convert yourself from an engineering type of position to people management - you will not have much room to grow as a technical person.
