Pros

The industry is fascinating and the financial stability of the company is solid.

Cons

Don't plan on having a personal life. A typical day for me: starts with 7 am conference call, meetings all day long where you might have a rare moment for a bathroom break, a 12 midnight conference call, and the next day expected to be in the office between 7 - 8 am. The environment does not allow for the most productive work. Many positions require that you travel globally and work 7 days a week. I was surprised at the low caliber of IT expertise and the lack of technology. Working remotely, even in unusual situations like a major blizzard, is frowned upon.
