Pros

good times when the going is good, perks are usually quite good.

Cons

unpredictable, poor pay and prospects for 90% of the people who join. its nothing like the adverts. be prepared for hostility from higherups if you want to control your career path, but also be prepared to be constantly told you have to control your own career.
