Pros

I get to work on very visible, customer-facing projects that make a difference to thousands of people a day. My management cares about my career growth and work-life balance. I am paid very well.

Cons

Many people, including myself, work 10-12 hours per day pretty frequently. On-call shifts are stressful.
