Pros

Motivated people; reasonable work life balance; large variety of available work; good range of sectors and clients; opportunities to use bleeding edge technology.

Cons

Poor structure; lack of process; lack of productionisation; resistant to change (too much focus on how things have always been done within the company, not enough of an emphasis on best practice/efficiency).
