Pros

You gain a lot of knowledge and the company offers comprehensive benefits (like strong insurance). The senior engineers provide a lot of valuable guidance and mentorship.

Cons

It's a highly dynamic work environment that requires rapid adaptation because circumstances are always changing. There is a large workload and frequent organizational shifts; layoffs are becoming increasingly more common.
