Pros

Great salary and generous stock options were offered.

Cons

Because of tight deadlines, code quality was terrible, and there were a lot of defects on internal infrastructure. Poor QA automation led to a lot of manual testing. All of that will make you solve a lot of problems you would not have if good code practices were maintained, and a lot of unpaid overtime.

Advice to Management

Good code quality = happy employees and a stable product
