Pros

Interestign work. Lost of freedom, no micromanaging of tasks. Communication in the team is good (between engineers and direct manager at least). Pay. Trust.

Cons

Intra-company competition. Managers must fit team members' performance to specified distribution for reviews (which is proven to be useless). Product management seems to be mostly incompetent, though my sample size is very small here. People clinging to posts, leading to high friction and forcing engineers to strategically consider everything they communicate, instead of being open. Ridiculous forcing everyone to do "something" with the newest hype, even if it doesn't help with their problem at all.
