Pros

Highly creative environment, work with smart people, challenging work

Cons

Very stressful for engineers--make an insane deadline and it becomes the normal deadline (because you could, nevermind the long days). In-house politics are same or worse as at any other company. I dislike the pointlessness of it all.
