Pros – You develop a lot of new skills and learn a lot. It is a very technical job, with a lot of reading to do.

Cons – The hours are criminal, 12 hours every day is way to much to endure for a long time. It might be a good idea for a couple of years but after that I would recommend moving somwhere else.
