Pros: - Open culture: problems get discussed openly and fixed, not just gossiped about in the background.

Cons: You often have to do a crazy amount of work in a very short time.
Not a startup anymore: You can't get super rich while waiting for some IPO. The stock value still grows, but is already quite expensive.
