Pros

Lots of autonomy with what you want to work on, opportunity to learn, flexible work hours and open culture. You are an "individual contributor" in the truest sense if that is your style of working!

Cons

The environment could be very political and toxic and lots of middle level managers who keep running from room to room attending meetings. You need to be a favorite to see promotions and even if you are, be ready to act pretentious (Don't say - "I fixed the bug, say, I fixed it in 15 minutes"). Salaries are pathetically low. Very low appreciation unless you are a "favorite pupil" in which case see your self rise rapidly.
