Pros

Relaxed work environment, very smart people, cool projects. Most people are very knowledgeable in their domain and can be great mentors.

Cons

Your manager is in complete control of your experience as an employee. If he/she doesn’t like you, you will have an awful time and there is no point in going to your skip manager or HR, they will do nothing. Managers can also make your experience an awesome one; this is a double edged sword.
