Pros

This being my first job gave me plenty of learning opportunities. You can explore as much as you can and learning and growing is encouraged.

Cons

Very fast paced and sometimes feels pointless as leadership decisions are always followed and nothing you do matters. For me personally, equipment engineering very quickly felt meaningless. I feel like there isn't much impact I am making which causes demotivation to work. 1 year feels more than enough to switch into a more diverse and cross-functional role.
