Pros

The time to market push for important clients is one of the most gratifying and yet worst experiences in my career. It has shaped me as an engineer. A majority of the engineers are above average and you can learn alot if yountake the time to ask.

Cons

Management are a bunch of good ol boys. Managers generally assign projects and you can easily get pushed into low quantity low visibility products if you aren't friendly. Once, during a business trip, I was reminded that we could all get fired if we didn't succeed, which was extremely demotivating.

Pros

You get the benefit of the resources available to a large company with many of the attributes of a startup. There's a minimum of tedious process. Most engineers are smart and motivated. Junior management are unobtrusive but supportive.

Cons

Big startups are somewhat chaotic. The expansion through acquisition has created team collaboration problems that the senior management seem unable to address. Responsibilities between teams are poorly defined. Product roadmaps are like long-range weather forecasts were 20 years ago.
