Pros
If you are one of the very few chosen to be in the inner circle, you may find yourself halfway around the world at your own request to set up an office or run a big program without any prior experience doing so. This presents some big opportunities for a small number of people in the company, primarily (straight white) men. It also presents a lot of problems for the experienced people who have to work with them. The technology and culture suffer because of this.
Cons
Upper management is a huge bromance that's invite-only, and boys-only: the CEO surrounds himself with a hand-selected group of yes-men that came up the Sales ladder. Talented women in Sales are routinely passed over for men who have less experience but more high-five prowess. I have never seen a more sexist company in my career, and was told directly by a senior sales manager that "We only hire hot chicks." Turnover in pivotal senior leadership positions is very high - the ones who stick around are those chosen frat boys who were rocketed up the ladder from the sales organization.
