Pros

They will pay you more than you're worth, including an unrivaled benefits package.

Cons

While there are plenty of bright people, with brilliance comes arrogance. This may just be the nature of the industry, but these are not people you want to play poker with in your home. It's a highly competitive environment, and as soon as you let down your guard, you are out.
