Pros: There are really none except compensation.
Cons: Terrible location to commute to. We came through a buyout. The first year was good; the second year was bad. All top people of my startup were forced out after less than two years. We were given crap tasks to do after a year, with tons of politics and terrible management. Management changes by the minute.
