Pros

Military robots: you get to save lives! Home robots: a chance to work on cool stuff and see the fruit of your labors on store shelves around the world. Telepresence: contribute to an emerging paradigm.

Cons

Long hours, frequent Asia travel if working on Home robots. (Then again, some like that.) Recent federal budget cuts have taken their toll on the military side.
