Pros

Genuinely nice people; interesting product category (helping large companies innovate and compete with more nimble start-ups); cool, fun offices; fully stocked kitchens.

Cons

Vacuum at the top. CEO is also Acting VP Product and Acting VP of Marketing. Obviously, one person cannot do all three jobs well. COO is a micro-managing control freak. That management style was necessary when the company was small. He has failed to scale with the business, which is now almost 50 people.
