Pros

The quality of coworkers is pretty high; nearly everyone is pretty bright and fairly creative.

The company is very flexible with its employees -- work matters more than hours and location.

There are a number of interesting classes of problems to work on that are difficult to find elsewhere (large scale distributed systems, storage infrastructure, etc).

The potential impact of your work is huge.

Cons

There's a culture of working long hours. The company is becoming larger and larger, which results in more processes and less creativity.

Advice to Management

Help your engineers with their career growth.
