Pros

Teams and management here work together very closely and management is very supportive, encourages all employees to bring their ideas to the table. Also one of the most committed companies I've seen in terms of championing diversity, lots of support from executive team and genuine energy from employees.

Cons

If you're not ok with a fast-paced environment that occasionally requires work outside of M-F 9-5 (though not often), this might not be a fit.
