Pros

Cool projects and innovation happen frequently.

Many intelligent coworkers.

Great guiding principles.

Cons

Principles don't always inform actual decisions (e.g., lofty ambitions, grittier reality).

Shifting upper-level priorities can cause a lot of churn on average developer effort.

Advice to Management

Re-evaluate how many meetings we actually need.

More bias for action and customer obsession.
