Pros

Work life balance. The unlimited leave is great. Would be realistically 7-9 weeks which is way more than 4 weeks (legally entitled in NZ). Everyone should owns quality. CI/CD straight to production. Great cultures. Feedbacks are encouraged. People are good in different shapes. Good compensation.

Cons

While everyone should own quality, there are not many but some reckless devs. Lots of series(es) from acquisitions.
