Pros

- Money - Money - Bragging rights on your resume - Challenging environment, politically. You can go work in DC after working here.

Cons

- Politics in IT departments are horrible! - Time management is impossible. Enjoy days full of meetings and e-mail, actual work adding to the business' bottom-line.. not so much. - IT Middle managers have bred themselves to the point of infestation. Most seem to think their job is to micromanage, call meetings, and send e-mail. Leadership is a term thrown around continuously, but rarely earned in reality.
