Pros

Work/life balance is as you make it - there are periods where it has been a grind, and others where prioritizing life is acceptable and encouraged. Depends on how much you want to gain and accelerate career growth.

Cons

Unique experience doing pre-production work (almost research, and piloting new technologies), so while funding was available, career growth is more difficult when the value is not being realized as much as other production teams and products.
