Pros

Great culture, benefits/comp, locations (beautiful Santa Barbara stone's throw from the beach/Seattle/Boston/etc). Great CEO - direction for the company in the next 1-5 years is very promising.

Cons

Decisions can feel top-down/coming from behind closed doors in terms of product/feature level decisions. Not much transparency in terms of how many day to day decisions get made.
