Pros

Pushing the limit on building highly scalable, bleeding-edge services. Employees are focused on the right thing for users, and there is a high degree of ownership.

Cons

Work-life balance is more difficult to maintain unless you are willing to sacrifice upward trajectory. Questionable value is placed on engineers and providing them with the best tools to do their job.

Advice to Management

Place more emphasis on showing you value employees, not through stock but through the actions and benefits you provide.
