Business Outlook
Pros
good pay, benefits, and people. you're literally working on stuff that will affect the world. your work will be used by millions of people and that always is a great feeling.
Cons
deadlines, deadlines, deadlines. they're sometimes unrealistic and more of a "stake in the sand" mentality. the mindset seems "if you give them a date, they will work very hard to make it, whether they will or not". this is true, but it also burns out a lot of good people and you can only do this so many times. if you are of importance to any project, you're expected on call 24/7.
