Pros

High degree of personal ownership in projects means that if you're on a solid team you can contribute almost immediately

Cons

Serious issues with reinventing the wheel, neglecting useful open-source alternatives, and in many places completely ignoring proper software development practices like continuous integration, unit testing, integration testing, etc. Proprietary everything means your skills are largely not transferable.
