Pros

I'm learning every day. People are very willing to help, share knowledge, and work together. My skills are getting better, and there is a clear career path for software engineers who don't want to go into management. Work-life balance is pretty good: managers show by example that time off is not only acceptable but a good thing.

Cons

Sometimes it feels like management is too reactive. What I'm working on can vary quite a bit based on the "fire drill of the day." While I'm happy working on whatever needs to be done, I worry that management doesn't have a good understanding of where we need to go.

Advice to Management

"Agile" shouldn't be a synonym for "reactive". Product management and product development should be able to work hand-in-hand to have a clearer vision for the future.
