Pros
  • Space-age tools and infrastructure.
  • Very smart colleagues, a lot of whom are from a strong academic background (read: lots of PhDs).
  • Very open culture.
  • Superbly architected software.
  • To be hired, you have to not only be good at what you do but also be a nice person. Once you're hired, being nice and helping your co-workers solve problems is almost explicitly incentivized.
  • All in all, this is a really nice place to work.
Cons

For a pre-IPO company that has top talent and (I believe) will go from strength to strength, the workplace and perks are a bit spartan.

Advice to Management
  • Preserve the culture
  • Keep the hierarchy flat
  • Make sure everyone in management is highly technical
