Pros

Smart people, interesting projects IF you are lucky enough to be on that team.

Cons

A lot of management overhead and redundancy, a lot of NIH syndrome, and a LOT of stress due to every engineer doing on-call. On a large team this might mean one week out of every 3 months.. On a small team it might mean one out of every 3 weeks.
