Pros

Comp is very good. Free food is decent.

Cons

No work life balance (you would work 10-11 hours a day min), constant jokes from peers (and management) of "do or be fired". Interests are very short term. Failure is not an option. CYA culture everywhere. Zero planning. No transparency from above. Very poor communication when people come and go. One day you are sitting next to someone, next day he is gone. No notice, no nothing - just like that.
