Pros

Filled to the gunnels with talented, highly intelligent people. Always more to learn and someone to learn from. Opportunities to travel and work in other countries. Always on the cutting edge of new technology.

Cons

Consulting. Often for difficult clients in locations you wouldn't voluntarily visit. Travel, long hours. 'Staff augmentation' assignments on projects without much influence. Basically like being a contractor without the income of a contractor.
