Pros
Pro Free unlimited private repositories for small teams
Bitbucket offers unlimited private repositories for free, as long as the number of members in a team is not larger than 5. In other words, it does not charge for each number of private repository, instead it charges by the number of team members.
Pro Backed by a trustable company that has proved it's worth
BitBucket is developed and maintained by Atlassian, which is not an unknown venture, especially for developers. Atlassian has a great number of other products used by million of users worldwide, including JIRA, HipChat, Confluence and Stash.
Pro Allows importing existing repositories
BitBucket has a feature which allows users to import an existing repository that has been hosted elsewhere.
The process is very simple, either a service is selected from a dropdown menu and then a repo can be chosen and the URL for a repository can be added in the specified field. Once that's done, the repository is now uploade into BitBucket and can be edited, forked and compared to other repos hosted there.

Flagged Pros + Cons
Con Slow
The rendering time of the pages in the web UI is too slow to work fluently. It takes 4 to 5 seconds for each page to fully load. Each page is 4 to 8 MB.
Out of Date Pros + Cons
Con No code search
There is currently no way to search for source code inside BitBucket repositories through their website. The only way to search is by downloading the repository and searching through it locally or using external applications (both third and first party).
