Business Outlook
Pros
Good brand recognition; it will work for your resume. You'll also get to work on some interesting projects and around really bright people. If you have a great idea and plenty of motivation, you may get a chance to champion your work.
Cons
Everyone makes a 24x7 commitment to their work and there is tremendous pressure. You will burn out; management is trained to recognize burn-out and offer you various forms of time off depending on the seriousness of the matter. Leadership also has a tendency to dabble in the weeds a bit; I've worked with Senior VPs who felt it necessary to review APIs and database models, mine metrics reports for flaws and question seating arrangements.
