Pros

The people you work with will be very intelligent and motivated. Everyone is comfortable with technology and innovation is rewarded. Great benefits.

Cons

You will start out working 50 hours per week and it will only go up. The compensation is not enough to make up for the fact that you can't do anything but work. Turnover is outrageous - I quit after 13 months and I was the most senior member of my team by that point. Office politics can be crazy! There is very much a "face time" culture where people feel obligated to spend 11-14 hours per day at the office.
