Pros

Depends on the team you are in, you can have good WLB and doing interesting things if in a good team. Or buried with Operational loads, sev2s, bugs, if in a traps team.

Cons

Large company common issues. Slow climbing on promo ladders, politic battles (depends on the team you are in, I've been in crazy ones, and also am in a good one).
