Pros

There is a ton of opportunity to do a lot of cutting-edge work in highly scalable systems. The company is very ambitious, so if you can align yourself with a team that is growing, you can get promoted pretty easily.

Cons

The company does not have a strong visionary leading the way. Amazon has this, and that is why it has done so much better than eBay. They don't deal with acquisitions well.

Advice to Management

Find a strong visionary, give them a huge chunk of the company, and follow them blindly.
