Pros

Good atmosphere, friendly environment, fair compensation, moderate pressure. A nice place to enjoy your life, but if you want to be aggressive and make fast progress in your career, it might not be a good choice.

Cons

"Flat management" means you don't have much opportunity to get promoted. Promotions are largely based on "years-of-service", not ability or performance.
