Pros

Some managers are really great and care about you and your future. Some perks were pretty good, like Friday beers.

Cons

You might get a manager who refuses to communicate any feedback to you, then tries to get you fired! You might also get a manager who was previously a colleague and has no idea how to actually manage people! Management might arbitrarily to move you off the software you have been working for for 7+ years locally to a team across the ocean that you don't know well at all!

Pros

Flexible hours, unlimited PTO, in a position to really grow after a few really rough years.

Cons

Too many "yes" people near the top. VPs and directors want certain things done that they assume it will get done even if you show them hard evidence that it's not possible. If you give them a time line, they assume you can do it In half the time which is not how I work. Also there is a lot of " the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing"
