Pros

One of the best parts was the opportunity to work on genuinely exciting products and ship real value. The environment is fast-paced and ambitious, and you can learn a lot quickly. That said, the intensity can be hard to sustain long-term, and career progression beyond a certain level may feel limited.

Cons

Work–life balance can be difficult. Career growth may feel capped at higher levels (a “glass ceiling” effect) — it becomes more noticeable when you start competing for leadership-level opportunities.
