Pros

pays well, stable, lots of potential -- in some alternate universe.

Cons

90 hour weeks, stifling beaurocracy, backstabing politics, personal degradation, self-destructive technology choices. think of it as being chained in a salt mine with open sores. living in new york is a special kind of hell too.
