Pros
1) These are some of the most talented folks you will ever work with 2) Depending on the role you can have some nice flexibility 3) We compensate better than your average bear 4) Having this on your resume is like nitrous in your tank 5) You have a lot of opportunities to Learn & Be Curious
Cons
1) Far more bureaucratic than one would suspect 2) In an effort to always raise the bar, humanity and empathy can be lost 3) Leadership can be immune to an understanding of what is being asked of the folks doing the work 4) Easy to work yourself to death and to get to a point where you burnout 5) The quality of leadership is spotty. Some leaders get it while others were promoted to a level of incompetence/leadership is an afterthought 6) Every decision seeming requires a doc... and every doc requires multiple doc reads. Your job can easily go from Are Right, A Lot to that of a writer trying to get your book published and working with a cranky editor
