Pros

It's a very comfortable place, depending on the team. Generally, it has a better WLB than most other "elite" industry—finance, consulting, law, etc.

Cons

Honestly, it's a very comfortable place. So, if you're craving something more than comfort or that's the antithesis of comfort, or if it requires you to get outside of your comfort zone, you might want to look somewhere else. That said, if what you're optimizing for is a comfortable, high-paying, high-prestige job, I'm not sure that it gets any better than this.
