Pros

There is little friction between developing product improvements and shipping them. Engineers are generally given lots of authority to figure out the right thing to do and just do it. When people come from other companies, they are often shocked by this. Even as the company has grown, there are still very few gatekeepers between an engineer and getting their code into production.

Cons

Lots of the internal systems can be flaky. Scale is more important than reliability or consistency in some cases, which makes building reliable apps frustrating.

Advice to Management

Put more focus on engineering quality, and many issues will right themselves.
