Pros

Collaborative, quirky, open source culture that can be great for some, frustrating for others used to something more authoritarian. Work life balance is excellent. Work from home, work remote, come into the office - no one blinks an eye if you have to leave halfway through the day to pick up your sick kid from school.

Cons

Due to flat/collaborative nature of organization, there can sometimes be alot of political positioning. Career paths can rise up to a certain point, but entrenched upper management make opportunities at the top very rare. And typically filled by outside candidates.
