Pros

+ If you are highly motivated developer, you would love the freedom you receive here. Almost no bureaucracy. (Being a big company there might be some exceptions but this is been my experience over 4 years). If you are stuck in a team with legacy stuff, or work you don't like, moving is kind of easy (you would have to prepare for interviews though). + Very open env - you could talk to anyone if you have an issue.

Cons

- Full round interviews if you want to move to different team/org. - Oncall, esp if team is small could be taxing on you.
