Pros
Pro Components designed with accessibility in mind
Stemming from the Material Design guidelines on accessibility, Angular Material components are designed with many aspects of accessibility in mind. These include screen reader support and labelling, minimum contrast, focus traversal, consistent visual cues, visually guiding animations, touch target sizing considerations, minimum spacing, clear fonts, and more. All this can be a challenge when rolling your own components.
Pro Framework integrated components
Because the components are designed with Angular in mind, they are simpler to use and more powerful than a framework agnostic component library.
Pro Very optimized
Pro Accessibility in mind

Cons
Con Latest versions docs are incomplete
The previous version had nice docs. The new one has almost nothing. And the library has changed wildly so the old docs are no use.
Con Not that customizable
The use of the library can be very hard for beginners, but it gets very good when you know the features.
