Pros

Develops your leadership skills and ownership. Good technology, smart people.

Cons

Management just care about hitting the deadlines. If you want to be a good company's slave, go for it. If you want to be promoted within a reasonable timeframe, have fun working super late unless you want to also work weekends.
