Pros

Great pay (base + bonus + equity) Ownership Some autonomy

Cons

Benefits - what benefits?, Managers who have been in the same group for too long, Home grown systems that aren't scalable or sustainable, HORRIBLE Data management system, Frugality as a principle and excuse = frupidity, no career growth, you have to transfer to a new role at your same level and can only be promoted in your existing role, non-documenting culture, attrition is high (avg tenure is less than 2 years excluding growth)

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
