Pros

The benefits are great, WLB is good. The work, the tech stack used, and the overall demeanor of the organization isn't too bad.

Since they have already built up enough moat and continuously buy out other competitors, the stock prices continue to rise, which can make people rich in the long run if they stick it out.

Cons

The pay is ridiculously low for the Bay Area. If you're happy with better WLB and benefits in exchange for below-market base pay, then sure. But many folks don't prefer that. In which case, you might want to avoid.

Advice to Management

Don't always harp on the same "take ownership" thing to all developers. You need someone to follow along as well. Everyone can't be and shouldn't be leaders/owners.

Like the old adage, "too many cooks, spoil the broth". Place value on engineers who are happy to follow along if the project is led by another engineer.
