Pros.

• Correct - newer need to "clean" or wonder if build outputs are up-to-date.
• Fast - provide fast build execution.
  • Parallelism - execute on multiple locale or remote CPUs
  • Incremental - don't re-build everything from scratch
• Deterministic - the output depends entirely on the input(predictability, caching)
• Composable - allows reuse of existing build rules and creating new ones by combining them.
• Universal - Builds Android, iOS, web, backends, cloud services, and more...
• Multi-process - Isolation, allow more tool runtimes, defense against mem leaks.
• Reproducible build and test.
• Cloud accelerated.
• OSS solution.
• Google Cloud Build.
• D.R.Y Only retest when necessary.
• Bazel's build graph optimizes new work.
  • Independent piece of code will be builds in parallel.
  • Reuse still-valid build/test results.
• Execute tests in parallel.
• Scalable.
• Bazel's cache elements re-work.
  • Cloud cache.
• Bazel builds ~all the things.
• Use all cores to build and test.

Cons.

• Code analysis tool.
• More config tool to maintain.
