Pros

Working with smart people, collegiate environment, perfect for those right of college, challenging work, and looks good on your resume.

Cons

Long hours, too much expectation for low pay, more of who you know-to get promoted. Churn and burn type of environment. The work load is too intense at times and still you're expected to do more. The inability for managers to see the value you've added, focusing too much on the impossible. No COLA, impossible pay increases unless you get promoted.
