Pros

TikTok on your CV - gets you headhunted on LinkedIn oh and you occasionally meet a famous person in the office.

Cons

Where to begin? A toxic environment with zero trade-off. Forget working from home or creative freedom. You will be put in your box and told to stay in it. No career progression however having the name on your CV does get you headhunted. For a fun and social app, internally it is soul destroying and motivationally crippling.
