Thoughts after 15 years
Pros: Peers are great. Benefits are good, but not as good as they used to be. The technology being created is still fun, and exciting, but the processes are continually being reinvented.
Cons: Management is hit-or-miss. Some managers are invested in helping their directs succeed & grow, but more and more, you're left to manage your own career. Content publishing is a dying breed. Editors have gone the way of the dinosaurs, and more and more writing is being shifted to vendors, with writers being reallocated to "content analysts."
