Pros

Solid Pay, exceptionally smart engineers.

Cons

Business decisions can be absolutely ruthless on some teams. You'll see people crack from the pressure, luckily transfers are easy. Not all teams are created equal

Pros

+ Amazing coworkers + Managers have to be developers first, so they understand tech issues + As much responsibility as you want, lots of trust. You can interview, do architecture documents, propose new technologies, the world is your oyster + Work from home friendly (not 100%, depends on the manager, but I do about once a week) + Bring my dog to work! + Offices all over the world if you're interested in transferring to work abroad + Compensation and stock bonus is great

Cons

- Not really a con for me, but you are expected to be able to manage yourself and speak up for yourself. With the immense freedom you are given, it comes with the responsibility of knowing your limits and not relying on others to tell you what to do. It's great for me, but I've seen some that would be a lot less stressed out at a normal company with normal chain of power.
