Pros

Hour flexibility, good quality offices.

Cons

As a developer, you can only hope to have at least 1 technical manager, then the rest of the ladder is non-technical. So that means they don't understand the difficulties of the tasks, the problems they need to solve to scale, can't or don't care to come up with a plan to solve them. Expect vague specs, no perks of any sort as a developer. CEO views you as a robot and doesn't understand or care about anything you do at all, you're just there to make them money, only soft-skilled people get any recognition for their "work", if flipping a coin to make decisions can be called work. The technical managers don't have enough power to implement any changes or have your back when the tyrant "CTO" wants something done in some particular way, it doesn't matter how stupid his idea is, it only matters that it's different from what you think is better. If things don't work out, it's your fault cause you implemented his stupid ideas, if things work out it's because he was the mastermind behind the design, this whole company is a Catch-22 kind of place.
