Pros
  • Smart people, lots to learn.
  • Company has its heart in the right place.
  • Love the culture of giving.
Cons

You are on an island; you can't use open source and are stuck with internal solutions that are not as good.

The review system and curve fitting were bad, but I'm glad to know they're being changed.

Too many people just attend meetings and contribute little.

Too many Principals have a "rest and vest" mentality.
