It work well if you want to forget about the hosting and the infrastructure and simply focus in producing content in your wordpress/drupal site. If you want to have more control in the files, webserver, etc it will not work for you. It is a great option if you are currently using hostings such as acquia or wpengine and are looking for alternatives.

As we actively build and maintain websites for a large number of clients, we use Pantheon as a hosting option for the large majority of clients. In previous circumstances, we would be dealing with a smorgasbord of hosting platforms and server configurations, which becomes difficult to manage, difficult to replicate/resolve issues, and all-around tedious. Having everything under one roof has been instrumental to our success.
Pros
Integrated GIT / versioning
Tiered workflow for development and staging environments, for safe and rapid deployment
Consistent server configurations across projects, for easy diagnoses and speedy IT support
Cons
A little more control over features, e.g. htaccess, cron jobs, and general server configuration.
More integrated support for some niche solutions (e.g. WordPress multisite).
Allowing the ability to more easily clone or duplicate entire projects.

For an agency or company that needs to manage multiple clients across multiple projects, Pantheon is a great fit and allows for easy management, configuration, and maintenance of projects under one roof. For an individual company seeking a hosting plan for a single website, there are other options that might be equally appropriate.

We develop enterprise level websites on Drupal 8 for multiple companies with Pantheon. We also use Pantheon to host a large number of small campaign sites, also on Drupal 8. It provides us with a convenient portal to administrate a large number of sites. It allows us to transfer ownership over to a customer after delivery. It also has a CLI interface to greatly help with creation/deployment and continuous integration.
Pros
Their CLI product Terminus.
Ease of creating projects and multiple branch/dev environments within.
Cons
Better generic support/documentation on CI platforms other than the Pantheon preferred platform.
More resources on instances. Module updates can fail on install/update due to the server running out of memory. Only options are to upgrade services, or build the core site external to Pantheon and then import back into the Pantheon environment. The latter part is a detriment to customers/users that are not more savvy than installing modules through the GUI.
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for continuous integration and maintaining a large number of websites.
Less useful for single off sites that are used by less technical users.
