Pros

Interesting work, cross cutting, gorgeous office, great benefits, can learn a lot.

Cons

Really difficult work life balance - in fact none. Your life quality will depend on your boss and team you are in - good team = happy life; not good team = you might as well drink poison directly (leave). Lots of horrible snaky people.
