Pros

Great talent people, all are engineers of great skills.

Cons

Management only cares for "metrics", if "bench" is good, you can be in the worst project, with the worst manager and nobody cares. You can do all the job the client asks, you can be a top performer, but if you don't play their game, giving extra time on initiatives or being a close friend with the manager, you are a "bad performer". You go to bench and in no time they fire you if in that instant they can't get you a project, even if before you were a great developer and the project ended without your fault.

Pros

Amazing team—very collaborative, supportive, and welcoming from day one. Strong leadership, my manager is incredibly supportive and gives you autonomy to take ownership and bring new ideas forward. There is a well-structured environment—processes are clear, well explained and continuously improving. Great opportunities to learn; many trainings and tools available to support professional growth. People genuinely care about each other and create a positive work environment.

Cons

In some cases, coordination across teams can take extra time
