Pros

Strong culture to improve yourself and what you are capable of. There are many people willing to mentor you and most teams are dealing with a scale you cannot find at most companies.

Cons

There is a mandatory 5 days a week in office which makes the work/life balance awful with the commute time. Some places may have very difficult political powers within the organization making changes difficult even if you have data to support your cuase.
