Pros

You'll learn how the corporate world works. The hard way.

Cons

Remember all those nice perks during the internship? You won't get them anymore. No free lodging, no free food, no corporate events, no free tickets to the movies, no work-life balance, no fun. Instead you'll get: an on-call duty (it really messes up your daily/nightly routine), below market pay, stock that never vests and a vague career path. Great deal, right?

Pros

Working with newer technologies, working on products that are relevant to customers, good work and life balance, great area to live and have a family.

Cons

Dev-ops means carrying a pager from time to time, getting paged at 2 am to fix an issue with your team's software or services.
