Pros

Can experiment with new techniques and methodologies. Pay is competitive, if you negotiate it.

Cons

work life balance is team dependent, some teams have very bad turnover. A person doesn't last more than 1 year in the team I work in. Deadlines are unrealistic, expected to work overtime with no compensation. Legacy systems, very bad documentation, and very little support from IT regarding any internal tools/platforms. All of this is not taken into account with project deadlines from mangers.
