Pros

positive atmosphere, friendly colleagues, good social perks, nice office near the center of the city, interesting products to work on, and many others.

Cons

Growing bigger is a challenge for the corporate culture, sometimes it's a little bit chaotic process (I think it happens when you work with too many creative people).
