Pros

- being able to work with highly motivated and talented individuals - no more wasting time on endless planning, just get things done - very large project scope - fast career trajectory if you can deliver

Cons

- only work no life - pay isn't competitive - no manager can up-manage E currently, so expect very little to no push back of sudden product requirements
