Pros

If you're looking for a place where you can really sink your teeth in, gain great experience, work with the best in the industry, and be apart of something that is literally changing how software gets done...Harness is the place to be.

Cons

Early still pretty early (approx 2 years), so lack of process, and growing pains are to be expected. However, everyone is inspired and motivated by the massive opportunity ahead of us to overcome these issues.
