Pros

You will learn a lot. You will work with some very smart people on some very hard problems. You will grow and develop your ability to use data for effective decision-making.

Cons

You will no longer have a life - expect an intense 8-9 hours of work each day + 3-6 days of on-call each month if you are an SDE (weekends too!) Perks are minimal to nonexistent compared to the rest of the industry. Pay is average. Equipment is outright cheap, and sometimes painful to deal with.
