Pros

A no-ego, no-asshole collaborative culture. Amazing, it's the first time I've encountered this; it is possible.

It means less stress; teams are happy and motivated.

Upper management appears to have its 'stuff' together. I suspect that's why the company is successful.

Interesting hard technical problems to solve, massive scale.

The company values learning and career development.

I sound like a company man, but it really is a good place to work.

Also currently remote with the option to go in. I prefer remote working; nobody has pushed back on that.

Cons

It is hard for Engineering Managers to get promoted. There is no clear pathway and no clues on how to move forward. However, some EMs do go up the ladder, so it must be possible.
