Pros

Games. Even though, you are the managements mercy, there are so many ways to keep you interested as there are so many interesting things to do. If you make it first couple of years/projects you will have time of your life compared to IT industry. Technology sharing between products is really awesome, people love sharing their stuff.

Cons

Hard long work hours during tail end of cycle(6-8 months) and sometimes require sacrificing personal time to get the game out of the door.
