Pros

Smart people, fantastic builder tools, fantastic hardware, dogs at work, SLU is great. Great flexibility in terms of hours, working from home, personal time, etc.

Cons

Tiny cog in a big machine, sink or swim culture, tons of attrition, corporate atmosphere, 'frugality' in terms of perks and benefits.

Pros

All the benefit. Nice stock options. Offices in downtown.

Cons

Salaries tend to be a bit on the low side if you happen to be immigrant. Management focus on "results", ie, number of deployments, number of tickets. Managers just care on keep a "happy" state, no matter the project. If your project is building new tools or is behind because you need to build a new service, you will have your team's manager on your back everyday, no matter how much you do.
