Pros

The company is still small enough so that you can have direct impact on all parts of the system, but big enough to enjoy stability and long-term thinking of an established enterprise.

Cons

Not the best place to look for breakneck development speed, as there are customers and process requirements to think about. Conversely, because the scale demands keep growing, a lot of the architecture has rough edges so you need to be flexible and be prepared to figure things out.
