Pros

Very active culture. You get to work with very smart people. Things move very fast, so you don't have time to get bored.

Cons

Your progress will largely depend on your manager; their claim to love numbers more than anything applies only where it is convenient.

Horrible work-life balance - you are pretty much expected to do something extra just to keep up.

Compensation is 'OK' – don't expect to see any bonuses or workplace perks. They take frugality and turn it into penny-pinching.
