Pros

Lots of freedom and autonomy. No nonsense around things like expenses, vacation, etc. Just be professional and make sure you're helping your team be effective, and pretty much everything will be okay.

Cons

Since you get near total autonomy, figuring out just what to do can be challenging. You have to consider options carefully. It's also easy to get a bit of imposter syndrome since you're working with some of the very top names in the industry.

Advice to Management

Keep it up!

Only thing I would maybe change is to add a bit more emphasis on the importance of building a personal brand and a bit more transparency about how compensation review works.
