Pros

They trusted me to do a job that other companies didn't have faith a recent college graduate could do well. They were right to, and likely did so because of a thorough interview process. After only a couple months I have been a solid contributor to my work. They stock the fridges with breakfast and lunch food as well as drinks (sometimes a few beers), so most days lunch is free. There is a lot of freedom and trust involved, and everyone is part of a culture that lives up to expectations without strict rules.

Cons

I haven't had a full time job for more than a summer before this, so it haven't wrapped my head around how little time I will have for trips each year but that comes with a full time job. The effort that so many employees put in to their work creates a good work environment, but creates pressure to work extra hours and sometimes work at unpreferable hours. We have taken on a large workload, and some of my coworkers need more help to relieve some of the work, but they are hiring quickly to fix this.

Pros

There are a lot of interesting science projects, people are collaborative and engaged. You expected to stay on par with new literature, and can bring interesting paper to a journal club and develop it into a project. Initiative is welcomed. People are supportive, kind and professional. I love benefits, salary compensation and all extra activities organized by HRs to bring people together, such as running events, team outings, etc. Work-life balance is respected, having kids is encouraged, which is such a change from academia :)

Cons

Green card application can be initiated only after a year, can be an issue for internationals.
