Pros

Smart and helpful colleagues, high code quality standards, no pressure from the management, state-of-the-art tools, cool office, extremely flexible hours. You can choose the problems you work on.

Cons

Can't really remember much. Well, you have to make decisions. Since managers don't interfere, YOU have to care about the quality of product.

Pros

There are too many: - perfect offices - great conditions for working, very comfortable working places, rooms, negotiation rooms, kitchens and all - great atmosphere, everyone wants to create excellent product, no one works only for money - great projects, perfect experience - very clever and skilled co-workers - premiums and food compensations, free parkings

Cons

Nobody likes to document and write comments in code. There is no any requirement to do this, no general code style, requirements to write tests etc. So this totally depends on the project and its team lead. So the incoming barrier for the new-comer is pretty high as code is not documented at all. Another one - too many non-suitable functional approaches for coding in Java that often results in bad-readable code.
