Pros

Growth here depends on one's willingness to take on projects that challenge them. Work-life balance is fantastic and employees have time to do extra activities for career and personal growth. Compensation is not the best in the industry but still at a very comfortable level.

Cons

As part of a back-end group, tester configurations are usually limited to minimal resources. Lack of pressure might cause employees to be complacent with taking it easy.
