Pros: - Really smart people to work with.
- Culture of empowerment.
- Freedom to do what makes the most sense.
- Tons of challenging problems and opportunities.
Cons: There are a couple of old-timer employees here and there who're no longer effective or productive because the company's growth has outstripped their abilities. This leads to a couple of oddities in some parts of the company. It's pretty rare, though, and not a major problem.
