Pros

Exposure to large-scale systems, talented colleagues, and cutting-edge technology. Strong emphasis on ownership and delivering customer impact. Great brand recognition that opens doors for future roles. Clear processes and structure. Opportunities to take on significant responsibility early.

Cons

High-pressure environment with long hours. Work-life balance can be difficult, especially during peak periods. Office attendance policies may feel rigid. Culture can feel overly metrics-driven at times. Career growth depends heavily on team placement and manager support.
