Pros

The company is full of smart people, who seem overall, pretty down to Earth and approachable. Jack Dorsey would try to make all the Friday meetings, and the company usually was transparent.

Cons

The sales team. There were so many changes, from management, to teams, to overall structure, and even the comp structure. They low balled you into getting you in, and then the structure kept changing so you never really made any money.
