Vantaggi
If you don't have any development experience there can be a lot to be gained. Compensation is ok for new developers, but not so much for more experienced ones.
Svantaggi
Intra-departmental politics can be a mess sometimes, people like to backstab each other with the anytime feedback tool. Can't say no to requests, have to do everything half-assed. Burnout rate is pretty high, knowledgeable people always leave. Oncall rotations in small teams is a nightmare. Technical debt isn't usually taken care of because "the oncall will take care of it". Time spent doing operational stuff/fixing can be more than actual development. Most projects are written in "death marches" and is horrible to maintain and add features later. Vancouver location is where they put all the people who can't get H1Bs.
