Cons

way too much work horrible hours since it's an international operation easy to get mired in adversarial role with other teams/bosses/team members make money for the company at the risk of losing everything human about you

Pros

Exciting. If you have the right team, it can be a very pleasant place to work in. Unlike others, I find the operations burden refreshing (I come from working as a federal government contractor). On call pages are often opportunities to learn thing, and I like the investigation

Cons

Sometimes I spend too much time at the office. Parking spaces are limited. If you have a bad manager, life can be ... difficult.
