Pros

Friendly co workers, free breakfast, fruits, friday beer, nice office views, pool table, ping pong table, laptops for engineering staff.

Cons

Unbearable micromanagement from recent hires at engineering. Every branch, push, pull request, and even comments are being scrutinized with little constructive feedback. People are being encouraged to find fault in other people's code. A strict development process that adds little value is being enforced without room for compromise. Role of testers is being down played. Developer productivity and morale have dropped significantly.
