Pros

Got a lot of resources to learn Have great minds who are open to share knowledge

Cons

Highly competitive to get a good work. So you get bad work, and somehow have to justify the impact, which is very toxic.

Pros

You will learn a ton of different kinds of stuff. Flexibility to move internally.

Cons

Depending on the team and management/leadership, expect the highest level of toxicity possible. Narcissistic and incompetent leaders who are proud of giving employees tough time, specially in Boston AGI.
