Pros

Growing company, beautiful office, conveniently located, competitive perks, happy hour every Friday, many interesting challenges, generally lots of autonomy, opportunities for growth

Cons

Can be very political, often lots of red tap; several managers who play it too safe, afraid to step on people's toes; change is quite slow
