Pros

Pay, food, benefits, and working with cool people.

Cons

There are too many games to play to do well, such as managing the optics like brand and appearance to upper management. Doing great work doesn't mean you will be rewarded unless you also play the game. Those who don't get thrown under the bus in performance reviews or layoffs.
