Pros

Talented people, downtown/near-downtown location. Different teams can feel very different. But overall they hold similar culture. If you are lucky and find a reasonable team, you might be able to enjoy it. But not so much for other teams.

Cons

it's better to be a customer than an employee. no work life balance. management expects you to work late. uncompetitive compensation. on-call. political issue. This can be nasty sometimes.
