Pros

The people (for the most part) are great, benefits are good, and the product truly is incredible.

Cons

Upper management seems to have unrealistic expectations for productivity, and the reluctance to invest in additional resources is crippling and demotivating for those who are working so hard to meet deadlines. People who have been promoted from within aren't getting paid what people get when coming into similar positions from the outside. The morale is low...and not much is being done to improve it.

Lovely people all trying to do the right thing.

No real collaboration at the senior level. Vision is not clear, and not always aligned. Inconsistent decision making.
