Pros

The collaborative structure of the company encourages an entrepreneurial spirit. Most employees take ownership of their position and have a voice in their team. Generally the job is stable and I have never been pressured to work more than 40 hours save the occasional last minute deadline. The benefits package is also the best I've seen for a company of this size.

Cons

You get out what you put in. This is generally a good thing, but if you don't take ownership of your role and work hard to contribute effectively, you will have a hard time. The normal trappings of a large company are also present but to a much lesser degree - bureaucracy, interpersonal conflict, slow to innovate, etc.

Job security generally pretty high

Cons

Work environment is intense (in an uncomfortable way. not in a fun challenging way) and not very accommodating/flexible despite how much employees are expected to give.
