Pros

Nice office building with well-equipped conference rooms comes to mind first. Solid communication from upper upper management on direction, strategy. Regular group celebrations at macro level.

Cons

Don't expect much recognition or praise for your contributions. Middle management is unsophisticated in motivating teams with strong tendency towards tactical execution and not forward-thinking strategy.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
