Pros
If you know how to work the agile system and/or know how to please management, it's not really a whole lot of pressure. The key is to sell yourself as much as possible and make it at least seem like you're accomplishing a lot. Since the agile demo system is all about showing off, the more you do that the better off you'll be.
Cons
If you really care about creating something, then you're not in the right place. Because the agile system forces you to demo something every 2 weeks or so, you can never really accomplish anything complex unless you do it piecemeal. Think about building a space shuttle from scratch, but having to demo something every 2 weeks so that the management thinks you're doing something.
