Pros

Great atmosphere of freedom - nobody's on your way if you want to challenge the status quo. Openness, transparency are highly appreciated and put into practice. You have the chance to travel a lot - personally I find this an amazing trait. Several learning opportunities.

Cons

Structure, rules and policies are useful. Sometimes managers - with a swiss/german management style - tend to overdo on those. Too much of a structure slows your work down.
