Pros

- many learning opportunities (was my first PM role and I felt very prepared going into my next one) - high standards for writing; teaches you how to communicate concisely and effectively - office perks, despite it being very crowded at times

Cons

- sometimes can take a long time to get a decision approved given all the stakeholders involved // upper management didn't always communicate in the kindest way - underpaid for a good portion of my tenure (didn't feel like I was making a competitive salary until the very end) - once you release a feature, it's always on to the next one; there's not a lot of lot of time for reflection - very difficult / no clear path to getting a promo from L2 to senior in PM org
