Cons
Con Integration with other tools is not as good as github
Most of the 3rd party tools ( bug trackers, CI servers, chat servers, etc) always integrate with GitHub first, and either don't integrate with Bitbucket at all or do sub par job in it. For example there are 3 separate projects to allow building and verifying pull request submissions on Jenkins CI server and there is only one viable one for BitBucket and that one is really buggy and lacking many features.
The only exception to this rule is Atlassian products like Jira.
Con PostgreSQL knowledge needed
There should be at least one person in the team that can administer a PostgreSQL server with user roles and rights.
Con Virus warning
Might give a false virus warning on some Windows versions when using the Edge browser, try with Chrome instead.
