Pros: Flat organization, outstanding collaboration between teams, priorities are clear, very little politics. The company truly cares about the employees and the benefits package illustrates that point.
Cons: The work can be challenging (this could also be a pro) and sometimes, due to the situation, you can work a lot of extra hours. But, that is not the normal case.
